In this episode, British sculptor Rebecca Stevenson talks about her love of wax as a material, how studying anatomical dissection influenced her work, how she has updated Baroque Vanitas paintings for the 21st century, how feminism underpins her oeuvre and how a recent artist residency at the Victoria and Albert Museum has altered the perspective of herself as an artist.
