Heather Phillipson’s 'The Creeps' is written in response to Emma Talbot’s 'How the Web was Woven' (2009), an acrylic on canvas work with a variety of vignettes, spider webs, texts and mysterious figures. Reflecting the haunting, unsettling atmosphere in Talbot’s painting, Phillipson considers how an artwork can never be fully understood or described, but is something we can continually think with and learn from.
