Friday Feature Artist - Wanda Gillespie

𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐆𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐞 is an Australian/Aotearoa New Zealand contemporary artist driven by her belief in the spiritual potency of physical objects. Familiar objects are reimagined with alternate uses, history, culture and ceremony. Wanda has refined her craft as a wood sculptor through her evocative portrait sculptures, which combine ancient and contemporary forms, detailed and abstracted.
We hope you enjoy this special pre-recorded interview where we discuss:
🌏 How a residency in Indonesia influenced her work.
🧮 The appeal of the abacus.
🪵 Wood as an evocative material.
If you'd love to know more about how an object can convey so much and where the ideas come from, this conversation is for you!
We would like to thank Wanda Gillespie for sharing their time, artwork and knowledge with us.
