Notes

Sasha Mataya currently lives in London. He moved over twenty years ago from Croatia. Works as an art teacher in an all-girls school in Kensington. Talked about his own work and the fact that he had always been interested in the figure (thought now does a lot of drawings of his cat, Spike). His first job was as a male nanny. He talked about how he could tell whether a drawing had been done by a man or a woman and also talked about people's perceptions of Croatia, and Croatian perceptions about the British. On the plinth he is going to go record his time by drawing in a sketch book the four views (north, south, east and west) from the plinth.
