Guest artist CLAIRE BREWSTER joins painter and producer JILLIAN KNIPE to discuss her practice via 'The Jeeves Collection' by P G Wodehouse. First published as a book by George Newnes in 1919, it tells of the daily interactions between a highly competent valet - Reginald Jeeves – who is referred to as Jeeves – and his wealthy, idle master - Bertie Wooster. Bertie and his chums are constantly getting into a pickle and Jeeves is constantly getting them out. Each story describes the interplay between dreaming and order in a timeless world.

Claire and Jillian talk about freedom, drifters, sprites, storytelling, menopause, dreamers, timelessness, tinkety tonk, interior design, unhelpful thinking, fantasy worlds, growing up, delayed gratification, art consultants, murmurations of starlings, Day of the Dead and relationships in a chocolate bar.
