“Wylie [frequently] begins with drawing, working downstairs at the dining-room table, often late into the night, before moving upstairs to paint.… She often comes across an idea for a painting in this way, making sketches after watching films, or after seeing something in a newspaper or on the street, or from memory. It’s a method that relies on chance, on her receptivity to the world around her.”

“If you were at school, they would say these little pencils were not appropriate.… But it’s quite nice to use something inappropriate. It takes a long time. The color is soft, like an old print; it’s not Technicolor, it’s not Hollywood. It’s got some other quality which rather fits.”
