New episode with Eilis O’Connell: Obsessed by scale
Our latest episode is out now
Eilis studied at art school in Cork, Ireland in the early 1970s. Fascinated by making something small then realising it big, she shares with us the amazing range of materials she's worked with and her new-found admiration for marble.
‘I just love experimenting as a natural thing. I’m a real messer. I like to see what a material can do and play with it,’ she says.
In this episode Eilis touches upon a wide variety of subjects: copyright, the power of the plinth, her love for archaeology, cleaning sculptures, churches and of course, her passion for exploring different materials.
As always, you can see photos that accompany our episodes over on our website materiallyspeaking.com or on Instagram.
We’ll write again soon to tell you about the next episode. In the meantime, we hope the podcast here provides food for thought.
Enjoy listening.
