In this final episode of Series 1, Alice Browne selects 'Seawater and the Dragon' by Luciana Chetwynd and the Chetwynd Children. Published in 1973, the children's book tells of a feared dragon and his monster buddies who find an ally in naughty boy Seawater, and together, they all go on to become darlings of the village. As a painter of measured inaccuracies, Alice identifies with the book's wobbly illustrations, their over the top colours and contradictory perspectives. Along with the narrative, she too brings fantasy and reality onto the same surface, as well as a range of devices which explore how a painting might be put together. Together, we make some unexpected connections such as the way human presence brings about colour changes on cave walls, like a peculiar form of cave painting. And how Socrates might align with Seawater and the practice of an artist. Alice's use of symbols present a rich dossier of playfulness, for our eyes and our imaginations to wander around the canvas and compose our own personal stories. (Mixed Tapes is an introductory series recorded in lockdown with variations in audio quality, however, this episode is the only exception, being recorded before lockdown.)
