Thank you @speechdebelle & @iAmShakka for some great discussion around creativity and identity. Brilliant day.

@speechdebelle on family. ' I think that your family is important in influencing what you create.' Lovely stories about family history.

'British' doesn't mean just belonging to one culture. It's a mixture. I'm heavily influenced by a range of music from outside of the uk.

What does Britishness mean internationally? In this particular day and age, individualism maybe and politeness. Nice insights @Tate Britain

@iAmShakka says that the term British means multiculturalism. It's a highbrid term.

  • I'm a disabled amateur painter, so can't visit the Tate, but would love to know more about Mary Beale..Who taught her? Why did she paint on paper? Is there a book about her life and painting techniques? I'd be grateful for any other information you can offer. Thankyou!

  • Dear Emma, We enjoyed the Schwitters in Britain exhibition very very much and wondered whether any preservation work has been carried out on ‘Ja – Was? Bild’ (page 80 in the catalogue). This dates from 1920 and contains corrugated cardboard. The reason I ask is that I use corrugated cardboard as a medium for my sculptures and I am constantly asked 'How long will it last for?' This is the oldest artwork incorporating corrugated cardboard that I have come across, so I'd be most grateful if you could throw some light on this, if you ever get a minute to spare. Thanks for a wonderful exhibition. sincerely Josette
