442: Jackie Head on her Neo-Op art installations

Written By Ben Carter

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I talk with Jackie Head. She creates Neo-Op Art installations that manipulate space through the interplay of color and undulating pattern. She recently finished a mixed media installation at the Indianapolis airport that stretched to fourteen hundred feet and was made with 350,000 colored plastic cups. (pictured above) In our interview we talk about her public art pieces, developing specific glaze colors for her ceramic tile, and directing a team to accomplish a complicated install.
