A Seasonal Stroll: Part One

Dressed in a Drake’s corduroy suit, writer Phin Jennings heads to Eileen Cooper’s south London studio to sit for a portrait  

For the first in our new editorial series, A Life In… we joined Quo Vadis’s chef-proprietor Jeremy Lee for lunch of a martini and a smoked eel sandwich, and let him regale us with stories of a life spent in kitchens, from his mum’s cooking in Dundee, to his favourite cookbooks, and those famous meringues.   

For more than forty years, the artist Peter Halley has been charting the architecture, energy and hidden circuitry of modern life, long before the internet made networks a way of being. We met him in his Chelsea studio to talk about his enduring visual language, his time running Index magazine, and how New York has shaped and been shaped by his work.
