Thanks for sharing your playlist with Soulland.
I wanted to ask you a few questions, cool?
Yes.

Where are you right now?
Sat on my girlfriend's sofa.

You just moved your studio; are you settled in the new one?
Yes, I just moved to the Bomb Factory, and I'm loving it! So many amazing artists here.

Any song from the playlist that best describes your current state of mind?
"Crucify Your Mind."

What’s the most recent concert you attended?
Slipknot's 25th anniversary at the O2 in London.

I was just trying to figure out who connected us in the first place. Do you remember?

It was through Lauren Devlin. I wanted to invite you to show at the Gallery Steinsland Berliner. We finally ended up working together when you did your solo show "Flooded" in June 2022 at the gallery. I loved the show and the energy in your paintings. Actually, I ended up buying a piece myself.

I had totally forgotten it was through Lauren! Shout out to Lauren. It's been a long time since we've been chatting and working together. "Flooded" was so fun! I was super nervous as it was my first solo show. I remember when it opened, I was in Croatia with my friends, and you texted me letting me know how the opening went. I was so surprised and stoked.

What’s next in your life?
So right now, I'm working towards my first London solo show. Again, super stoked but nervous! That will be in mid-May with Haricot Gallery. Between now and then, I have four group shows: three in London and one in Marin County, CA. I'll be showing alongside some really great artists, which is always such a privilege.

Anything you’d like to add before we listen to the playlist?
Don't judge.

Thanks, Hetty! A pleasure talking to you.
