Selectors' Comments:
He's turned his self-doubt into a form of engagement with the audience, and converted the optional paralysis of what art to make into a voice in itself. He likes art really.

Artist's Statement:
The other day I said to Jack Newling, 'Jack, how much do you weigh?' He said, 'Oh, I'm a right fatty now Rhys, after a year at the RA.'
