239: New Zealand Week: Cheryl Lucas on creativity as a counterpoint to cultural trauma

Summary: Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Cheryl Lucas. In 2011 multiple earthquakes hit her home area of Christchurch, devastating the city and creating a turning point in Cheryl’s work. In our interview we talk about making art as a way to make sense of tragedy, transitioning between the technical and conceptual aspects of making, and helping to rebuild the city by making large scale chimney pots used on historic buildings.
