Seductive Feathers and Brutal Beasts (KATE MccGWIRE)

from ART FICTIONS · host Jillian Knipe

Guest artist KATE MccGWIRE joins Elizabeth Fullerton to chat about her work via American wildlife scientist Delia Owens' 2018 novel 'Where the Crawdads Sing'. In an ode to the beauty and violence of nature, the story centres around wild "marsh girl" Kya Clark. Abandoned and isolated from childhood, young Kya relies on nature to teach her the basics of survival as well as deluding her that one day she will be rescued. Interaction with other humans provides a whole different set of support and threatening challenges.    Identifying with Kya's barefoot 'n' wild soul, Kate MccGwire and Elizabeth Fullerton share stories of herons, crows, eagles, magpies, blackbirds, turkeys, pheasants, tropicbirds and the confounding snobbiness around pigeons and doves who are both part of the Columbidae family. They go on to explore snakes, oozing, gushing, skin, bones, intestines and scrotum' as well as darkness, resilience, rapture, seductions, repulsion, calm, turbulence, obsessiveness, working intensely, choir singing and Kate achieving a distinction for her dissertation at the Royal College despite being dyslexic.    (This episode is co-produced by Jillian Knipe and Elizabeth Fullerton with music by Griffin Knipe and image by Joanna Quinn of Beryl Productions)   KATE MccGWIRE katemccgwire.com instagram kate_mccgwire 'Cavort' 2020 'Sluice' 2009 'Sominal' 2019   ARTISTS & DESIGNERS & PERFORMERS Akram Khan Berlinde de Bruyckere Doris Salcedo Eva Hesse Helen Chadwick Helmut Lang Hermès Lancelot 'Capability' Brown Mona Hatoum Robert Adam  Thomas Chippendale   BOOKS Annie Proulx 'Barkskins' 2016 Douglas Stuart 'Shuggie Bain' 2020 Khaled Hosseini 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' 2007 Margaret Atwood 'Dearly: Poems' 2020 Tim Winton 'The Shepherd’s Hut' 2018   GALLERIES & ART DESTINATIONS Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire  Grand Palais Éphémère 'Art Paris' 2021 contemporary art fair Harewood House, Leeds The Lowry, Manchester   SERIES 'It’s a Sin' written by Russel T Davies   MUSIC Benjamin Britten 'Peter Grimes' 1945 Henry Purcell 'Hear my prayer, O Lord' 1682 Henry Purcell 'Lord, How Long Wilt Thou Be Angry'
