Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the artist Sam Taylor-Wood.
She is known for her photography and short films - including David- a film of the footballer David Beckham sleeping and her 365 degree photograph that was wrapped around the Selfridges store in central London - and is one half of art's most glamorous couple - her husband is the art dealer Jay Jopling.
Her route into art was scattered and uncertain. Although she knew she wanted to study art, she ended up taking a BTech in fashion before studying art at Goldsmiths. In 1997 she was awarded a prize as the most promising new artist at the Venice Biennale - but the same year saw the birth of her daughter and within months she was diagnosed with colon cancer. She fought it off only to find within a few years, that she was suffering from breast cancer. She emerged from illness with a major show at the Haywood Gallery - said to be the youngest person to be granted a retrospective there. She now says that her illness has given her a drive to keep working - and to do whatever seems the most fun.
