About the Work
"My
process
in
selecting
these
works
was
very
much
what
caught
my
eye
the
most
when
scrolling
through
the
large
collection
on
the
Sarjeant
website.
I
made
a
shortlist
first
and
then
realised
that
the
majority
of
the
artworks
I’d
chosen
were
from
the
70s
and
80s.
This
installation
caught
my
eye
the
most,
I’ve
never
seen
Debra
Bustin‘s
work
before.
I
love
the
chaos."
