About this listen

My guest this week is the artist Joel Parkes. His sculptures in stone, metal and wood are incredibly beautiful, transcendental and contemplative. Previously working in public art, Joel’s move into the world of fine art see’s a continuation in using rejected materials that reflect is interest in transformation and renewal.


It’s hard not to talk about interesting ideas and concepts with Joel. We talk about spirituality, the oscillations of life, we talk about realisations and also about his process and thought’s on what art is. It’s a little longer than usual because we shoot the breeze a bit but he is refreshingly honest, funny and compelling


Joel is a deep thinker and like his work, is interested in having a conversation so we get pretty philosophical in this episode which I enjoyed. Enjoy!
