Jane Weaver's forgotten artist muse

Radcliffe and Maconie

Available for over a year

The singer-songwriter talks about the pioneering but elusive Swedish artist who inspired the first track on her new album. Hilma af Klint was probably the first abstract painter and used free association, automatic drawing and seances to inspire her creativity. But at the end of her life, she stipulated in her will that no one could see her work until years after her death. Jane's track, H>A>K, reflects the mysticism of Klint's paintings. And Jane opens up about being a synth-geek - or is she?
