Alexander Glover interviews painter Caragh Thuring whose work is on view at Thomas Dane Gallery, London,through January 21, 2017.

In the introduction Glover notes: “Although Thuring’s work has become synonymous with painting directly on to unprimed linen, this exhibition marks a turning point, in which the artist has collaborated with weavers from Suffolk and Belgium. The weavers were instructed to recreate in tapestry her old work, creating a series of homages to her previous paintings, over which she then painted with new ideas. Self-repetition is important to Thuring’s practice, but this exhibition holds no trace of the artist simply repeating herself.”
