As Easton cements herself in London's art scene, we knew we wanted a longer look at how she lives and what makes her tick. So, a couple of months after she welcomed her first child, we paid a visit to the gallerist at home. They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. Hung on the walls are artworks and paintings from friends, loved ones, artists she represents, or all three; elsewhere, thoughtful modifications made with her husband. Before stepping inside, we sat down with Easton to talk about art, home, motherhood and the rhythms shaping this new chapter of her life.

You run your namesake gallery in Cambridge Heath. What does a typical day look like for you?

Pre-baby it would be a very L.A. morning: gym, smoothie, 10-step skincare routine. Then the benefit of running a gallery is that no two days look the same. Sometimes studio visits, calls with our artists, lunches with collectors, private views, dinners. While other days we might be installing an exhibition, on a fair booth or travelling, all peppered with endless admin.

Post-baby, my morning is dictated by whatever my tiny master calls for while trying to squeeze some of the old me around his needs, and then off we trot. He tags along to gallery life. I’m training him up to be our new sales director. Currently he’s very effective, people can’t resist his charms.

What art are you gravitating towards right now?

Medieval depictions of the Madonna and Child.

What’s the most rewarding thing about having your own gallery?

The gallery is truly my happy place. Sometimes when I’m there alone and the sun is shining and we have two excellent exhibitions on, I walk in and just feel immense joy. I feel lucky to be surrounded by art and the brilliant artists that make it possible.

Do you think taste is important?

Only in the sense that you develop your own. Never in the way that someone might critique another.

Who or what is responsible for your taste?

My prefrontal cortex? Hard to know, I have a terrible long-term memory. But in terms of influences, they are many and varied: Phoebe English, my friends, Rei Kawakubo, Cosey Fanni Tutti, my Mum, my husband’s hair.

You studied art history at Goldsmiths as a mature student after co-founding Phoebe English. What inspired this pivot?

I never completed my sculpture degree the first time around as it was quickly apparent to me that I wasn’t an artist and when I left fashion, I wanted to return to art, so I went back to school. It was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made. The Visual Cultures department at Goldsmiths is phenomenal and I fully leaned in and became a major nerd, which led to various book clubs over COVID, including one I continue to host for Worms Magazine.

Is there any art you find difficult?

Art made for Instagram.

You recently gave birth to a baby boy Holiday. How has motherhood surprised you?

I only realised I wanted to be a Mother last year. Pregnancy is challenging but motherhood is unreal, a whole new world and love unlocked. The hardest, best thing I’ve ever done. I also think it’s made me better at my job; my Mum always told me becoming a Mother made her more focused, efficient and empathetic at work and I never believed her but it’s true.

Are there any objects in your home you feel a strong sentimental attachment to?

My Grandmother’s record player. The gifts and notes Liam [my husband] has given me over the years. All my clothes.

Would you consider yourself a homebody?

Absolutely.

How have you made this home your own?

I’ve been in this neighbourhood for eight years but it’s a homecoming for my husband. Liam and I met by the canal in Venice at the opening of the 2019 Biennale only to find that I was living in his childhood streets. We love the sense of community here, which can be very hard to generate in London. I suppose we’ve made it our own by filling it with art and design made by friends and loved ones. Arlette, Jan Gatewood, Eva Gold, Parker Ito, Louis Morlæ, Amanda Moström, Tasneem Sarkez, Łukasz Stokłosa, James Shaw, even, on occasion, ourselves. They unlock parts of my brain, connect synapses, help me think better, ground me in the creative present and emerging future.

Our interior style is based on a passion for research and shopping for unusual design pieces, and a DIY ethos of repair and invention. If it doesn’t exist, make it! Some examples: vintage furniture re-upholstered by a friend; curtains, bespoke, made to work with James Shaw’s shaggy hair chair set; a mirrored wall and waney edge shelf that Liam and I made together; fitted door mats made from gallery off-cuts and a cat tower made from discarded designer furniture. Something always seems to be breaking, and making careful repairs brings a real sense of belonging.

What’s the key to being a good host?

At home I defer to Liam. I hate hosting, I’m far too particular. At the gallery it’s simple. Diet Coke, wine, an artist-led tour of the exhibition and lunch at our favourite local greasy spoon.

Is there a piece of furniture you’re coveting?

An Eros Console by Angelo Mangiarotti.

You’ve described yourself as a “not-so-secret goth”. How do you fly the black flag as you get older?

Long black hair and an all-black outfit 90 per cent of the time. But I’m a fake goth. Pink is actually my favourite colour. I love athleisure and I yearn to be a valley girl.

If you had a uniform, what would it be?

You can never go wrong with a Phoebe English shirt, COMME des GARÇONS trousers and Simone Rocha Crocs.

Name a meal you could eat every day?

Sashimi.

The worst haircut you’ve ever had?

I overbleached my hair and it all snapped off, so I shaved it and dyed it black. I was 18 and thought I was getting away with it at the time.

Where’s your favourite place in all of London?

Sir John Soane’s Museum and Rosebery Avenue. I always feel good going down that road. I don’t know why, I just do.

When was the last time you changed your mind about something?

Every day. I’m a Gemini and six weeks postpartum.
