Richard Rawlins and Lorna Hamilton-Brown: Sounds of the Studio

From the melancholy, chugging guitar of Johnny Cash to boogie icons Earth Wind & Fire, listen to the tunes that inspired contemporary artists Richard Rawlins and Lorna Hamilton-Brown in our latest ‘Sounds of the Studio’ playlist.

Richard’s work addresses the culture and politics of the Caribbean and Lorna is known as the ‘Banksy’ of the knitting world, subverting perceptions of knitting and deploying it as a means of activism. Their piece ‘46’ in our ‘Duos: The Art of Collaboration’ exhibition in Lewes is a response to Diane Abbott’s treatment in the House of Commons in March 2024, where she was ignored 46 times. The pair’s playlist is packed full of classics and will make you feel all kind of emotions from nostalgia to joy.
