Alberta Whittle: Create Dangerously

Antonia Quirke talks to artist Alberta Whittle as she creates a new work for a major exhibition at the National Galleries of Scotland.

Alberta is an award-winning Barbadian-Scottish multi-disciplinary artist whose work encompasses drawing, digital collage, film and video installation, sculpture, performance and writing. In this edition of In The Studio, Antonia Quirke follows the progress of a new painting, commissioned specifically for the exhibition. All is going well with the painting, until Alberta realises that it might be upside down.
