#20 - Heather Day on Abstraction




The Artword Podcast show

Summary: We all see things differently, but Heather Day filters color in a particular way. Quite late in life she found out that she has synesthesia. She works intuitively, often pushing paint around and recalls an obsession with color from an early age. Over the years her studio and paintings have grown larger. From pastels on paper, via wider brushes on canvas to murals and spray paint, her whole body is always involved in the act of painting. She speaks on how she decides when a work is finished; the evolution of a painting from the materials touching, to the making of the painting and documentation.
