Interview with the artist Laura Dzelzytė

"I wanted everything: to save the world and to conquer it. In the end, I worked as hard as I could so that I could pay for my studies in the UK. At weekends I would take the number 15 bus into central London for a price of 50 pence and go to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square to see Manet’s The Execution of Emperor Maximilian. "
