I think of myself essentially as a working-class immigrant and Whitechapel chimes with that... That is what has given me the most freedom in terms of conceptualising myself and my journey, so I kind of feel at home here.

No gallery show will ever have that kind of exposure or critical attention that a mega platform like the Tate provides.
