<strong>The</strong> artist’s studio inventory (ED 157)<br />
“I always identify Joan with <strong>the</strong> sea, and<br />
it is a valid identification. <strong>The</strong>re is <strong>the</strong><br />
gentle sunlit sea one delights in, in <strong>the</strong><br />
summer. And even in bad wea<strong>the</strong>r it is<br />
still a summer sea. This was <strong>the</strong> Joan<br />
that I think everyone knew. This is<br />
<strong>the</strong> sea most people know. But <strong>the</strong>re<br />
is <strong>the</strong> magnificent winter sea, in all its<br />
indomitable grandeur and <strong>the</strong> wild,<br />
turbulent and terrifying splendour.<br />
This was Joan too.”<br />
