Our cover story this month is an exclusive interview with the painter Peter Godwin, written by John McDonald. It was only in his 50s when he held his first solo exhibition of work, a decade on Peter talks with John about the influence behind the evolution of his practice. Photographer Tamara Dean features her epic dreamlike scenes and discusses her constant challenging of her practice and artistic boundaries. We also feature London-based David Noona, Helga Groves, Greg Creek and Dan Kyle.
