Considering Art Podcast – Clare Burnett, sculpting modern urban themes

In this episode, sculptor Clare Burnett talks about her upbringing abroad, studying law and social sciences before turning to art, starting as a painter before turning to sculpture, the modern issues her sculptures reference, how cities inspire her, the found materials she scavenges, her views on plastic as a material, learning new techniques, her use of glass tiles and the health of sculpture today.
