Considering Art Podcast – Nicola Turner, sculptor

Nicola Turner creates extraordinary sculptures using soft organic fibres. In this episode, she talks about her family’s sewing tradition, how she began working in theatre and costume design before taking an MA in Fine Art, where she obtains the material for her sculptures, the different responses from those who view her works, the brief for her recent sculpture The Meddling Fiend in the forecourt of the Royal Academy, how she responds to the environment for site specific installations, and how working is therapeutic for her.
