Henry Taylor will speak about his life as an artist - the things that inspire him - the vari- ous places and people in those places with whom he shares common histories, sensibili- ties, tastes and desires. He will speak about his work with regard to this context. Artwork and life intimately bound. The former could not exist without the latter, and perhaps, the other way around. One emerges from the other.
