In Episode 2 of ‘Art Layers with Hornsby Art Society’, host Hadijah Munting has another chat with the president of the Hornsby Art Society, Chris Beard, on insights into his varied and interesting experiences of approaching teachers and artists to give demonstrations at Hornsby’s art centre, Wallarobba.
Hadijah also interviews visual artist extraordinaire Jan Windus. Listeners will perceive how inherently resourceful, resilient and ambitious artists are in general and will hear in particular details of Jan’s personal life--growing up, schooling--and his remarkable achievements as a fulltime artist. Originally from Holland, Jan talks with Hadijah about his work; his inspiration and creativity; and his experience of being an artist, including the processes behind the creation of his incredible paintings.
Local musician Kim Short, who sang and played so marvellously in Episode 1, returns with the performance of another amazing and thought-provoking original song.
As in the first episode, listeners will be treated to interludes of bird song from Songs of
Disappearance, an album of Australian bird calls created to draw attention to endangered and threatened species of Australian birds.
