This hour-long interview with Martin Lee is on Still Life With Pansy, a weekly show focusing on LGBT+ artists. “One of the ongoing themes in my work has been the home… the only place me and my husband have been able to feel like our real selves is within the house, where no one else can see us.”

‘…Piecing together cues from across continents, the artist challenges traditional conventions of composition to create dreamscapes that are simultaneously familiar and foreign.
