Opening Night: Gritted Teeth

A report from the private view of Gritted Teeth at The Department Store, Brixton — 24 women artists, one extraordinary evening.

A benefit exhibition raising money for the homeless — all works donated, all for sale.

“Without pain, I can’t create — I have nothing to say”

“The reward is in the work”

“The invisibility that comes with being a middle-aged woman is a relief”

“I have been working on the theme of flying for over 10 years”

“I don’t wish to be anyone but myself”

“I think I am still in love with John Baldessari for the time being”

“Reactions are good. React, people!”

“A lot of my art and my thinking is about transformation”

“Making art is all about failing”
