00:00So it's an incredibly vulnerable thing that people are doing, something that they really
00:21care about and speaks very deeply about who they are.
00:25And so I'm hugely honoured that they've entrusted us, me and the Artangel team, to look after
00:32their stuff and to display it and to show it off in this way.
00:42At first I thought they wanted about five or six, so I sent over a picture of some.
00:46And they said no, can we have more, so I sent over about fourteen.
00:50And then they actually phoned me and said, we're going to need more, and I was like,
00:54OK, how many do you need? We want them all. I was like, all of them? OK, how am I going
00:59to get 4,000 of my little ponies down from Suffolk to Croydon? But they sent couriers
01:06and helped me pack them up.
01:13The one thing I love about hobbies is there's overlap. So there's some miniatures over there,
01:17I paint miniatures at home, there's some nail art upstairs, and sometimes I have to do that
01:23for a costume. So I've been chatting to the other people here, and we've actually been
01:27sharing ideas, and I think we've kind of started branching into each other's hobby a little bit.
