This issue features a rare interview with artist Pat Brassington. Jill Orr discusses promises and performance and we explore the practices of Kez Hughes, Kasia Tons, Jumaadi and Nicholas Mangan. This issue also asks five artists whose work centres around nature - Nici Cumpston, Karla Dickens, Janet Laurence, Jenna Lee and John Wolseley - what it feels like creating in the age of the Anthropocene.
