$✨️ EP 5: LESLIE RICE - ALMOST A MOUNTAIN ✨ Often, things happen in a painting that weren’t part of the original plan. For Leslie Rice, the artist’s job is not to force the work back towards an idea, but to recognise when the painting is offering something better.️️ In this excerpt from Episode 5 of Nanda\Hobbs: In Conversation, Ralph Hobbs and Leslie Rice discuss the unexpected ways a lifetime spent around tattooing has found its way into Leslie’s painting, sometimes without him even realising it. That idea runs throughout the full episode, pulling together fragments from different worlds and different moments in painting history. It’s part of what gives Almost A Mountain its restless energy: nothing is quite as fixed as it first appears. 🔗 To listen to the full episode, click the link in our bio, or find Nanda\Hobbs: In Conversation on Spotify (or wherever you get your podcasts). @tragicplastic #NandaHobbsInConversation #NandaHobbs #LeslieRice$
