Considering Art Podcast – Caro Williams, sculptor
Description
Caro Williams has earned a worldwide reputation for sculptures that are transformations into solid form of lines from books and poems as well as sound, particularly birdsong. In this episode, she talks about her fascinating family background involving Wales, France, China, Hong Kong and England, her school days in Hong Kong, her career in the British travel industry, her art education in England and New Zealand, how she began transforming text and sounds into solid sculptures, excerpts from poems that have inspired her, her process of making, and her plans to introduce Cantonese characters into her work.
