In this episode, Brussels-based Polish sculptor Tatiana Wolska talks about the sculptures she makes from found or recycled materials, particularly wood. She describes herself as a “junk artist” who is commenting on the wastefulness of western society and breathing new life into redundant waste products. She talks about how her fabricated shelters are a plea for society to slow down and contemplate life in these difficult times, and how drawing and sculpting, without much planning, are central to her life.
