442: Jackie Head on her Neo-Op art installations

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 fourteen hundred feet and was made with
350,000 colored plastic cups. 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. To see examples of her work, visit www.jackiehead.com.
