The designer-maker’s favourite photographer, Yeshen Venema is my guest on this episode of the podcast. He talks about preparing for a professional photo shoot so that you can get your art and products looking their best. If you have ever applied for a fair, a market, an event or anything similar you will have been asked to submit images which is then used in their marketing. Even stockists and galleries often use the maker’s photos on their website and social media. As such the photos are used beyond your own website and social media feed and that is why investing in a professional is always a good idea.

I talk to Edinburgh based stone sculptor Alasdair Thomson about his  training in Italy working with artigiani and using the time in Italy to study the great masters of the Renaissance. We talk about how his art history background influences his contemporary work as stone sculpture is often considered to be a medium for memorialising, and his use of contemporary subjects to make his work relateable to different audiences. We discuss his preference for Carrara marble over local Scottish stones, and its connection to art history.

Alasdair has eschewed the gallery model in recent times, and now prefers to source his own clients who commission him on private projects and brand collaborations.

Take a listen.

Ryan Hughes, artistic director for the Coventry Biennial talks about starting the Biennial in 2017 and what he learned from that event to build on, and create a bigger international biennial for 2019.

He talks about the theme of The Twin for this years event, which explores duality, and encouraged collaborations and peer to peer artist relationships. The Biennial has over 100 artists showing this year with three quarters of them being UK based and the rest international. He discusses the established names that you can expect to see alongside some of the early and mid career artists showing their work.

We go behind the scenes and he talks about working with stakeholders in the West Midlands to access new exhibiting spaces that open out the city, and how artists were responding to place.

Alexandra Dillon is a wonderful artist based in LA who found her flow when she started painting portraits on hardware. I’m a big fan of her work so I was really excited to connect with her to record this episode.

In this episode she talks about her classical training and how that informs the work she makes, finding her flow, how she came to paint on hardware such as shovels, saws and brushes, and recent successes with gallery and museum shows.
