For many artists, starting a family can feel like a major disruption - if not a complete interruption - to one’s creative practice.

Frustrated by galleries, residencies and commissioning bodies that expect all artists to be childless, independent and unconstrained by domestic obligations, the Norwich-based artists Anna Townley and Lawrence Bradby have published a new book about their experiences of combining parenthood and creative practice.

Called 'An Endless Round of Repetitive Tasks with Operatic Anger and Comic Turns', the book combines drawings and photographs by Townley and Bradby, and two essays by Frances Williams and Judith Stewart. Townley and Bradby (along with two of their three daughters, Hope and Martha) sat down at their kitchen table to describe the creative processes that informed their new book.
