In today’s episode I will be talking with the lovely Louise Grundy. Louise is an artist entrepreneur social worker and educator all in one. She works primarily in sculpture, creating layered paper portraits inspired by archival material and family history. Louise explores words, records stories behind both famous and not-so-famous faces and is well known for her Ancestry Heads project, a series of sculptural heads drawing on the themes of history and memory. The Ancestry Heads project started in 2016 and she has since created over 30 sculptural portraits for exhibitions and private commissions. In our conversation Louise talks affectionately about her parents and their support, her resourcefulness and her current practise and success with Ancestry Heads. A much needed conversation about resilience, self belief, determination and quiet ambition.
