New episode with Anne-Claire van den Elshout: Icarus
Our latest episode is out now
We started Materially Speaking five years ago to hear about artists and artisans, and how they worked together.
However, technology has changed a lot since then and we are delighted that today's episode features the story of how one artist collaborated with one of the new generation of artisans.
Listen to Anne-Claire van den Elshout: Icarus
Dutch artist Anne-Claire trained and worked as a lawyer until she followed her heart to become an artist. She moved to Pietrasanta, where she lived, and worked, for 15 years. Now she divides her time between the Hague and Pietrasanta.
Having discovered that a traditional scanner was unable to grab the emotion she saw in a split second, Anne-Claire was happy to meet Claudio Giustiniani of ArtaxLab in Pietrasanta, who showed her how he used 30 Nikon cameras in conjunction with a 3-D printer. Working with Claudio she could get what she wanted and began her project to capture the emotions around the experience of COVID-19 called My Collection of Souls.
Another collaboration Anne-Claire made was with photographer Gail Skoff. Anne-Claire tells us how it was working with Gail and how happy she was to have Icarus flying.
