'The first thing I bought when I was at art school was a New Guinean mud mask. And I just kept on collecting. When Peter and I went to Penang in Malaysia we bought our first blue-and-white antique Chinese bowl. That started our passion for collecting Asian ceramics, many of which I have included in my still lifes and interiors. Every time we went to South-East Asia or China we would go to antique shops or markets or bric-a-brac places. We’d always ask where they had their old pieces, because they’d often have them out the back in cabinets—past the bigger, cheaper reproductions that most tourists like.'
