In this episode, we visit the studio and gallery of sculptor Hilarie Mais.
Hilarie's formative years as an artist began in London, followed by a potent stint in New York during the late 70s. For the last 40 years, she has settled in Sydney and enjoyed a highly successful career from Australia.
Hilarie's practice has been described as a dedication to the grid, with each of her works beginning from this same point. Hilarie has worked within this theme for over 30 years and our final conversation for the season explores how she has been able to maintain her commitment to this singular focus.
