That was brilliant, to hear about Jillys past and hear more of where she is now was so lovely. Looking forward to the new work. Much love Sue x

Jill was always different but beautiful both in and out. So delighted that she has managed to spend her life doing what she so clearly loves and is dedicated to - her art. Well done Jill. Fantastic to see someone still so enthusiastic later in life and having been to that "posh" grammar school with her, know her age, but she comes across still so young and vibrant. Super interview, interesting and fun to listen to, keep going forever with your art Jill

Great interview I loved your show at the Beany and showing with you in ‘handful of dust’ , which was a hard show to make for. Looking forward to seeing your latest work.

[@jillholder1868]

I found this film inspiring, thank you for sharing. Listening to the artist talk about her work related to children in war was particularly moving. Great energy and passion. Thank you

I remember your Open the Box show as being so enjoyable, with a mix of emotions. It was wonderful. Do it again and make it a touring exhibition! The film shows two early boxes with stamps and stones. Which titles did you use for them?

[@jillholder1868]

Thank you! I would love to show it again! The two in this clip are 1. (With stamps pinned to the board) "Butterflies 1993) 2. (With beach chalk marked like faces, mounted on sandpaper) " Conversation Piece" 1993

Great interview. It's good to hear your story. I have a question - how do you manage to be so consistently creative? Simon x

Video does not have a sound

[@studio5show]

Hello... Have you tried changing your settings? The video definitely has sound...

[@SilviaPogoda-hl1yx]

@@studio5show I have watched other videos from this series, any many others, But this one no matter what I do does not have a sound, I opened link in different browsers and its always the same. There is music at the beginning but no sound when the artist speaks.

[@studio5show]

@@SilviaPogoda-hl1yx I am sorry you are having trouble. However, I have checked it all and the sound is on all the way through. There doesn' t seem to be any issue with it.
