Painting in Freefall - my conversation with artist and skydiver Michelle Nirumandrad


Listen Later

In this episode I’m speaking with skydiver and artist Michelle Nirumandrad who collaborates with the wind on a concept called ‘Captured Sky’.

In this conversation we cover a host of topics about her practice including:
How she first conceived of working this way

So please enjoy this inspiring and exhilarating conversation!
