‘This is a portriff of the lady who cleans the bathrooms at Studio A. Her real name is Subita but I call her Dinkie Duck because I like to rename people and places. Whenever she appears, wheeling her trolley, I always say, “Oh no, not my friend Dinkie Duck!” and I tell everyone at the studio, “Guess who’s here, it’s Dinkie!” It sounds like I don’t like it when she arrives, but I am just kidding. She is my friend. I wanted to paint Dinkie, and Woody [Studio A principal artist Emma Johnston] helped me ask her. I wanted to do a big painting of Dinkie. As big as real life.’
