Sort of cock-fanny.\u201d Wilfrid Wood is standing in the hallway of his home in Hackney, east London, in front of a painting by the artist Rod Harman, his former tutor. Wood, an artist himself, is appraising the work, jabbing a finger at what initially appeared to be simply a collection of abstract shapes, but which on closer inspection, well, he\u2019s right: it\u2019s altogether more anatomical. The flat, which spans the top two floors of a Victorian terraced house, is full to the brim with art \u2013 every inch of wall, some of the floor space, too, is taken up with paintings, pen drawings and small sculptures. There\u2019s not actually space for much else. \u201cI hate gadgets,\u201d Wood says. \u201cI don\u2019t have a TV or an air fryer. I wouldn\u2019t have the toaster if somebody hadn\u2019t given it to me. I\u2019m only really interested in art things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fanny, fanny, cock.
