The - cases for laptop computers




What are you wearing?

The chelsea boots are from Noordermarkt, a second-hand market in Amsterdam. They were €10 (£7). The artist I work with, Lucy, lives there. My jeans are Sass & Bide; I've been wearing skinny jeans for years. My sweatshirt is also from Noordermarkt. I like the fact that Betty Boop is sweating in the picture, it's quitepainterly. There's a real grunge aesthetic to our work. I joke that I'm stuck in the 90s; Kurt Cobain is a real influence. The name of our art collective is Blood 'n' Feathers, which is taken from a Courtney Love/Hole song.

You're bag is huge. Did it cost a fortune?

It's from Mulberry, but it's my friend's. I live with her on a houseboat. She won't mind that I've borrowed it. But I didn't realise it was an expensive bag.

Where is your scarf from?

It's a Bristol University scarf, although I didn't study there. It's lovely and warm, and a bit Bob Dylan. I think the stripes are powerful. I use a limited colour palette with my paintings, and I suppose it's quite similar.

Describe your style

Friends used to say I was "neddy". In Glasgow that's what they call townies. I'd say I was toddleresque, which means I just throw things together. I'm quite androgynous but I try to do something feminine as well, like red lips and gooey mascara. I grew up in Blackpool where it's quite grey and there's not a lot to do. People use fashion as a way to stop things from being so mundane.

What do you wear to paint in?

I wouldn't wear an artist's smock to paint in. I wear skinny black jeans, and I trash clothes quite a lot. I have a pair of lovely black brogues that I've just trashed. It's such a shame. But, that's what's good about shopping in charity shops - you can buy something cheap and it doesn't matter.

Has an item of clothing ever inspired your work?

Yes, my mum's fur coat from the 60s that she bought with her first pay cheque has been a symbol in some of my paintings.

How much do you plan outfits?

Getting dressed is like doing a painting - it uses the same part of the brain. You go with your instincts and then you make changes and you modify it if it's a disaster. For an experiment I didn't have a mirror for about a year; I used not to look at myself at all, but recently I've bought a huge mirror and it's brilliant.

Where do you like to shop?

I like going to New York. I've been there a few times with my old band, I Love Lucy. We went last summer, to support Franz Ferdinand. I found a great shop called Beacon's Closet, a massive second-hand store with really good prices. Plus, they arrange their stock into colours, which I like.

What's the strangest thing you've ever worn?

I used to wear a tutu and have a skinhead when I lived in Preston about eight years ago. My hair had been bleached and I just had to get rid of it, so I went to the hairdressers. People used to make the obvious comments about Sinead O'Connor, but the boys loved it. They all had long grungey hair, and all the girls had short hair. People's attitudes are really open up there.

· Blood 'n' Feathers is now showing as part of the Becks Futures exhibition at the ICA.
