Kylie Stillman - Season 2, Episode 5 - Fine Art Fiona

What this episode covers

Kylie Stillman is enthralled by making, slowly by hand, repurposing, recycling materials to create sculptures, large and minute, that reveal ‘signs of life’ in the natural world. It could be a bird carved by hand from a stack of books or beads threaded or glued on paper mapping the tracery of a spider’s web made visible by morning dew. She works with old-fashioned craft and handiwork meshed with modern art concepts, ‘taking something very common and then giving it nobility’. The results are breathtakingly beautiful. Kylie talks about her approach to making and the realisation that buying a tube of red paint was exactly what her art could not be about.
