Multidisciplinary maker Heather Dornan-Wilson, joins us for episode nine of ten from our second series.
A clip of this episode is available above in the video.
This second series of Making Conversations Podcast is funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland as part of their Artist Emergency Programme.
For episode nine, Heather speaks to us about her artistic practice and the importance of not being defined by materials, processes and disciplines.
As a multidisciplinary maker, Heather looks for the material language to drive the physicality of her work.
After originally graduating from the textile department at Ulster University, Heather studied for a Masters degree, where she further worked in a wide array of materials.
