Artist Roni Horn on horror, hope and landing in a lake in Iceland
‘Mirroring, doubling and repetition are constants in Horn’s work. These drawings are mired in midnight madness. She describes them to me as 'an endless silent scream feeling. I’ve lost a lot of friends and one of the things that comes up a lot when you’re very ill is that the last thing to go is hope.' This is the reason why, after she’d heard it in comedian Maria Bamford’s routine in 2020, she became so attached to the phrase 'I am paralysed with hope.’

Phyllida Barlow: Disruptor review – sexy latex and gobs of gum as a stately home gets trashed
‘The house says, I am here, I’m important – Barlow says, everything is precarious, nothing goes as planned. It’s electric and a bit cheeky too.’
