About this Kane FM story
Listen here:
Lucy from our editorial team sat down and had a chat with Ali Clarke, who is the programme manager at Surrey Hills Arts and Will Nash, the artist of The Optohedron.
There is a lot of planning and preparation that goes into a project like this, which Ali talks through. From finding the right artist for the job, to then executing the final body of work. Ali further explains how there are multiple things to think about and consider before the work can be displayed for the wider public to enjoy.
“The Optohedron sculpture is inspired by the act of viewing, thinking about seeing as the fundamental interface between the person and the world. Whilst exploring this idea, I investigated optics, the science of light, which took me to an ancient instrument, the Kaleidoscope.”
Will Nash
Will, who has been working on projects such as The Optohedron for around 17 years, explains how he came up with the idea, how he chose to execute it and he explains that there are many different layers to the piece.
