Welcome to a new series for artistsandmakers.com - questions and answers with interesting artists, creatives and people working in the arts, heritage and creative sector.
We kick off with an interview originally completed as part of Made In South Kilburn, a Made Labs project for the Empty Shops Network's Workshop 24 space in South Kilburn.
