It was Douglas Crimp’s genius that he saw a new form of art on the horizon. Don’t forget this was pre-digital so images from television, magazines, and movies were immutable.
Image-based work was nowhere to be found. None of the galleries were showing work like ours. Minimalism and conceptualism were the reigning art movements of the day. Philip Smith: Even though we were all so young, I think we all felt we were creating something important that needed to be seen. Can you tell us a bit about that important moment in time?

In my work for the Sarah Ferguson Foundation, I get personally involved in raising funds for school-building projects in Sierra Leone and Liberia. So my job, in a sense, is building bridges that link a good concept with the right people and resources.
By that I mean my mind is like an idea factory, constantly on overdrive. What do you actually do all day in your job? I feel Eloise and I are similar in spirit.
