Artists Delaine Le Bas and Katriona Beales discuss how they measure artistic success and the realities of maintaining a career, building a track record and getting paid. They also consider the impacts of motherhood, gender and cultural heritage on their practices, and whether unionising might be one key to survival for artists. Hosted by artist and curator Cathy Lomax.
