Sculptor Veronica Ryan’s 'poetic and personal' language

ENCORE! © France 24

The Turner Prize-winning artist joins us to talk about her approach to 3D forms, and the surreal experience of winning the UK’s most important contemporary art accolade. Drawing on her Caribbean heritage in her work, she tells us about the importance of celebrating the contributions of the Windrush generation for a special commission in London. Ryan explains her relationship with unlikely and found materials and her sculptural practice of repurposing and recycling everyday objects. We also discuss the delicate balance between a sculptor’s intentions and the wider reception of artwork in the public space.
