Summary:[...]there is material Linda Nochlin gave me before she died, which includes course notes and bibliographies for her course 'Misere: The Representation of Poverty, Deprivation, and Abjection from Courbet to the Present in France, England, and the United States', which she taught at New York University in 2010. Because the camera and the crew would come with an attitude, they would come with the gesture of documentary, of knowledge, of the non-manual. After a few weeks of working on the asparagus harvest drawings, I realised that the curves of people harvesting asparagus, bending over, often wearing hoods, were close to those in drawings I made in 2006, when I drew nuns praying in the Carmelite convent in Notting Hill, as hooded figures with their hands together. A subject you have turned to over the past couple of decades is monastic life, and you have created several videos, including Little Sisters: Lunapark Ostia, 2012, and Karmel Dachau, 2019/2022-23, which invite viewers into the cloistered space of the convent.
