Remembering first coming across the work of Boyle Family in the contemporary art section of Manchester Library when at university, Ryan Gander chose one of the groups epic World Series wall sculptures from David and Indrė Roberts collection as the starting point for this conversation.
Study of a Coloured Tile Path With Red, Black and White Tiles, 1988 is a meticulous recreation of a randomly chosen area of the earth's surface in resin, fibreglass and mixed media, perhaps representing a front garden path in London.
Gander chose it due to seeing a shared interest in time and collecting places in moments. He joins Ned McConnell from his Suffolk studio for a conversation about working with your kids, fables and fantasy and the gaps between reality and history.
