Considering Art Podcast – Harriet Mena Hill, Concrete Art and London’s Aylesbury Estate

For nearly a decade, Harriet Mena Hill has been drawing and painting on concrete images of the Aylesbury estate in south-west London. In this episode, she talks about how architecture has always been an artistic theme for her, the influence of surrealism on her early work, her fear of infinity, the Aylesbury estate history and community, how and why she came to use concrete as her ‘canvas’, the political aspect to her work and how it is progressing.
