Art historian and curator Kate Bryan fully immerses herself in the life and work of Maggi Hambling, an iconic tour de force known as much for her acerbic wit as her artistic genius. My Week with Maggi Hambling sees Kate, who filmed many of her experiences on her iPhone, spending long days with Maggi at home and in her studio, where the artist rises daily at 5am, and sets to work despite her recent near-fatal heart attack. Discussing everything from her creative processes and her muses to speeding tickets, cinnamon buns and being a reluctant queer icon, this film draws an intimate portrait of an artist usually out of the limelight and explores her acclaimed body of work.
