Dear Fellow Art Lovers,
After a much too long absence I am returning to your inbox with a new newsletter format. I thought an audio newsletter/podcast might be more accessible for some of you, so over the next few months I am going to try this new format and I would love your feedback on how you like it. For those of you who find text easier to access, I will endeavour to post a transcript of these recordings on my website, lisasquirrel.com.
In this first podcast I am joined by my mother. We discuss how she helps me to understand and visualise the art works I describe as I prepare the tours I give at The Barbican and Tate. We also discuss her experiences of helping me as a visually impaired child to connect with art, and the ups and downs we encountered along the way.
Please find the link to this recording below. and, for those of you who are partially or fully sighted there are a couple of photographs below of the native American South African and Chinese pots which my mother and I discuss and briefly describe at the start of the recording.
We hope you enjoy, and as always feedback and suggestions for artworks you would like me to describe are very much welcomed.
Until next time, keep safe and warm.
Best Wishes,
Lisa
