The patience of colour

Leila Morgan talks about how a painting changes when it is given time. She describes the small decisions that happen between the first mark and the last, and the traces that remain on the surface.

Colour, in her practice, is a way of listening. Some days she follows a familiar palette; on others, an unexpected shade changes the direction of the whole canvas.

We speak about unfinished work, the pleasure of revision, and why a studio should always leave room for a question.
