It’s not easy to be a woman in the art world. As Sigrid Kirk highlights in our recent interview, we are working within a structure built by white men many years ago and the onus is on us to carve out space for ourselves against all odds.

Ten pence pieces in the earliest stage of production
Money seems such a powerful material,
but in the end it’s only metal. I was keen
to see how it was made and managed to
get behind the scenes at the Royal Mint,
in Pontyclun, Wales. I asked if I could have
some coins without a face. Removing these
metal discs from the process just before
they were struck made them a currency
interrupted before it had value, before it
accrued power.

Incinerated cocaine
A thorny run-in with US Customs officials
gave me a perverse desire to work with
Customs and Excise in the UK. I got
to know the team at their Cardiff
headquarters over a period of several
months. They agreed to give me some
confiscated cocaine. They gave me a
big black bin-liner full, a million pounds’
worth burnt to a cinder. I love the
theatrical way they destroy illicitly
smuggled contraband, steamrollering
fake Rolex watches or alcohol. Like me,
they are often symbolically killing
things off.
