Margy’s top exhibitions of 2015:
My favourite painting of 2015 is by Eric Ravilious, official war artist who died in 1942. My new film will feature this watercolour, which shows the Arctic sun ricocheting across the freezing waters off Iceland, under a sky streaked with vapour trails and aeroplanes, beautiful yet frightening. Ravilious himself will one day go up in one of those planes and meet his death in that sky.
