493: Kim Dickey on the power of ornamentation
Today on the show I talk with sculptor Kim Dickey. She uses the structures and flora of the garden as a springboard to create large-scale sculpture and installation. In our interview we talk about her use of brocage, the feminist claiming of space through ornamentation, and her recent solo show Auguries at the Robischon Gallery in Denver, CO. Pictured above you see images from the show including the six by nine foot Sixth Sense, made from over two thousand majolica-painted quatrefoils. To see other examples of her work visit www.kimdickeystudio.com. Dickey is a Professor of Art at the University of Colorado Boulder. To listen to this episode click here.
