Mumps welcomes me to her bijou watercolour house in Sydenham with a voice like 6pt Comic Sans. Squeaking to me about her recent work ‘Protest’, she explains how she persuaded 30 friends to meet and emit a mass sigh, in protest at ‘The War’. This event was followed by a watercolour sleepover, attended by the divine and putrescent of the art sect, where 'The War' was discussed over pineapple smoothies.
Katie Mumps does not restrict her activist activities to protesting against war. She is also anti-television, and finds herself crying softly to adverts for washing powder or awnings. Mumps is so sensitive she has often been bruised by wind, and is thought to be at least 80% gas. Her favourite pastime (and a lucrative one at that) is making pastel drawings. Her preferred subjects are rainbows, waterfalls and unicorns.
