Considering Art Podcast – Natalia Millman, multi-media conceptual artist
Description
Natalia Millman was born in Ukraine and came to England in her twenties. Her father’s dementia and subsequent death had a profound effect on her both personally and artistically. In this episode she talks about her Ukrainian background, how she pursued an art career after moving to the UK, how her father’s demise led to a refocus of her art towards expressing grief and life’s fragility, how research and experimentation became a key part of her practice, how she invited people to share their experience of personal loss through sending her letters, some examples of moving expressions of grief, and how she developed the idea into a multi-media and sensory exhibition entitled Letters to Forever.
