Name: Richard Higlett
Job title: Gallery Invigilator
How long have you worked at Chapter? 1 year, 2 months and 3 days (just a young pup in the scheme of things)
Your best memory at Chapter? Too many and usually involving real ale.
Your favourite Chapter event? I really enjoyed the Car Bootique which brought people together. My favourite exhibition would be The Magic Show last year.
What do you get up to outside of Chapter? Practising artist with a studio just a few yards away.
Tell us a bit about your work. Just built a mobile PA for Fiesta to take sound art into urban and rural places. Recently presented at g39, The Dairy in Pontcanna. I tend to drift between painting, film and sound art.
Do you have any hidden talents? I love Karaoke and find it hard to pass a pub when it’s on. I’m a crooner.
Tell us about your football allegiances. CCFC the first, best and original… Coventry City FC.
Are the sky blue glory days going to return? No, but I’m not in it for the winning, just the hard times. I’m not a sports fan in general, but football is responsible for how fathers and sons come together.
If money was no object what would you buy? Like all kids of the 70s — Prawn Cocktail, Steak and Chips, followed by Black Forest Gateaux. Otherwise, employ a health coach and buy more time.
Who would you like to play you in a film of your life? Someone handsome and thinner, or Will Roberts from Chapter Shop.
Tell us a secret… If I did then it wouldn’t be a secret and we all need a little guilt to define us.
Tell us a joke… Whats the most common Owl in Britain? The Teat-Owl
