As a guest curator, tell us what was the basis of your choices in the CPS collection of works:

"The House of Colors

I imagined a house: lots of cement that was smooth before being smoothed, rough edges, sliding panels instead of doors. With the intention of starting by filling the walls before the rest. (Avoiding the distraction of white can cause rivers of paint to flow).

A house without majorities where women and men were equally represented. A house that could never be a museum.

I now know all these colors by heart."
