Tuesday Aug 20, 2013
Join ahtcast for this interview with Winchester, Hampshire UK artist,
Alastair Eales. A real virtuoso regarding process and developing
simplified palette possibilities. Eales talks about how it can be tricky
to maintain the spontaneity of smaller works and sketches when
translated into larger work. The subject of how these sketches can bring
a greater focus to larger works also comes up. His ambiguous technique
may stem from his childhood memories of drawing in which Eales created
imaginary worlds and varying possibilities. Listen in as we are also
taken on a vivid tour through a very experimental performance piece by
the artist. Welcome and enjoy.

work." She also speaks of her highly experimental past and what enjoying
