It's the Ologies 9th Anniversary episode – and the customary gift is willow. So I reached out to an artist whose work means a lot to me, and convinced world-renowned environmental sculptor Patrick Dougherty to chat about his work, and about willows in general. Twisting and tangling literal tons of willow saplings, Patrick and his crews create huge, site-specific sculptures that look like fantastical buildings, but made almost entirely of sustainably-sourced branches. I've loved his work for decades, and this chat was like a kid meeting their basketball hero. We also address: cleaning up ecology with willows, their spine-like roots, why some willows weep, plumbing follies, medicinal uses of willows, why they're so bendy, the poetry that nature inspires, why sniffing sticks is healthy, the physics of birds' nests, and reconnecting with the wonder you had as a child. Instant classic.

9 Things on How to Live1. Master Your Body as the Vehicle of Your BecomingYour body is your vessel for movement. Keep things flowing, keep the blood flowing, keep the ideas flowing. Align your desires with your actions. Move through the world with intention, and you raise the floor of what's possible simply by showing up with curiosity and creativity in each moment.2. Claim the Sacred Pauses as Your Gateway to PowerYou can insert pockets of peace, pockets of awareness throughout your day. You already have everything you need right here, right now. Life is always happening, time keeps moving, and this time-space reality is all you have. Claim ownership of it. Practice radical acceptance, radical accountability, self-reliance. That's punk rock. That's beautiful.3. Design Your Environment to Support Your Highest SelfCreate friction with behaviors that drain you. Build a frictionless path to practices that elevate you. Lay out your yoga pants, your shoes by your bed so morning movement feels inevitable and exciting. Your surroundings either pull you forward or hold you back. Choose deliberately.4. Wake Early and Enter the Infinity of Quiet TimeStart early. The energetics settle. Tasks stay quiet. Your responsibilities haven't pulled you in a hundred directions yet. You have space. You have time. Morning time feels like infinity. Try waking at 3, when your energy calls you forth to become awakened. Sit upright. Channel the divine intelligence within you.5. Access the Wisdom Already Living Inside Your BiologyYour brain is a galaxy. It can contemplate infinitude, poetry, the greatest minds. Read the Transcendentalists. Read Blake, Emerson, Oliver. They resonate because we share this truth: all wisdom held across centuries lives within your awareness. You become a vessel for that wisdom, and your days exist to express it through your actions, your creations, your presence.6. Shift Your Thinking and Watch Your Reality TransformYour physical reality is the result of your habitual thinking, but it's malleable, changeable. Shift your thinking, shift your perception of a thing, and the thing itself transforms. You are the art director, the head curator of your life. Design your days through the media you consume, the thoughts you choose to hold. Thoughts are pop-up ads in the brain. You get to choose which ones you click.7. Hold Your Beliefs Lightly and Flow Like WaterThe love is always there. Your larger self is unafraid, creative, indestructible, renewing. It learns constantly. Hold your beliefs strongly, but hold them lightly. Grasp like water, flowing around obstacles rather than resisting them. The water sounds beautiful because of the rocks in its way.8. Let Your Obstacles Become the Sculpture of Your BeautyThe obstacles before you right now make life beautiful. You're here to create, to scale your impact, to express yourself fully through whatever channels call to you. Put yourself out there with your message. Test it. Watch for the response. Close the gaps. Innovate. This is how meaning grows.9. Create Something Beautiful and Let It Be Your Legacy

What immediately comes to mind when someone says "the arts"? Is it music? Painting? Sculptures? Dance? Theatre? Something else? The good news is that all kinds of art flourish here in Hampton Roads! We speak with local artists and creators, Patrick Mullins, Rowena Finn, and Terrance Afer-Anderson about the work, focus, struggles, and triumphs of African American and other minority artists. And we hear a bit about what each of them are working on now!

Lorsqu'en 1884 la jeune Camille Claudel franchit les portes de son atelier, Auguste Rodin, le géant de la sculpture, est foudroyé. Entre le maître reconnu et l'élève au talent incandescent naît une passion dévorante où l'art, la terre et la chair se confondent. Une liaison clandestine, fusionnelle et destructrice, qui va donner naissance aux plus grands chefs-d'œuvre de leur temps, avant de finir par les consumer l'un et l'autre."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté de l'émission de télévision éponyme produite par la Société Européenne de Production ©2024 SEP / France Télévisions.

C'est sur le tard, à l'aube de ses 40 ans, qu'Auguste Rodin goûte enfin aux prémices de la gloire. Mais cette notoriété naissante n'en est qu'à ses balbutiements. Le destin lui sourit lorsqu'il se voit confier une mission inespérée : réaliser le portrait de l'immense Victor Hugo, l'un des hommes les plus adulés de France. Une rencontre au sommet entre deux monstres sacrés qui va propulser la carrière du sculpteur dans une toute nouvelle dimension."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté de l'émission de télévision éponyme produite par la Société Européenne de Production ©2024 SEP / France Télévisions.

This week, Tracy and Damien explore TMC's MechWarrior 5: Clans – Clan Mech Dioramas Director's Cut, a striking collection of battle scenes that sits somewhere between machinima, virtual photography and digital sculpture.Tracy introduces TMC, the German filmmaking collective whose work evolved from in-game footage and fan-made Hired Steel films into sophisticated Unreal Engine virtual production. That journey ultimately brought the team to the attention of MechWarrior developer Piranha Games, which commissioned TMC to create official cinematics for MechWarrior 5: Clans.Unlike the narrative action of Hired Steel, the Director's Cut suspends its battles in time. Its camera glides through intricately composed three-dimensional tableaux, revealing ruptured armour, weapons fire, smoke, sparks, water and airborne debris that would ordinarily pass almost unnoticed during gameplay. Tracy considers how this moving “digital eye” transforms spectacular combat into something contemplative, combining the monumental scale of war machines with the intimacy of painted tabletop miniatures.Damien compares the experience to walking through an art gallery, where each frozen moment exposes the extraordinary detail underlying a fast-paced game. Their discussion concludes by imagining how these dioramas might become fully explorable VR environments—allowing viewers to move freely through the scenes rather than remaining bound to the filmmaker's camera.Key time stamps -01:00 – Damien welcomes Tracy and explains Phil and Ricky's mysterious absence01:30 – Introducing TMC's MechWarrior 5: Clans – Clan Mech Dioramas Director's Cut02:10 – TMC's history and Completely Machinima's earlier coverage of Hired Steel03:25 – From MechWarrior players to 3D artists and filmmakers04:25 – TMC's evolution from gameplay capture to Blender and Unreal Engine production05:35 – How TMC's fan filmmaking led to official work with Piranha Games06:32 – The crucial difference between Hired Steel and the non-narrative dioramas07:20 – Machinima as virtual photography and digital sculpture08:35 – Arrested time, frozen combat and the camera as a “digital eye”10:25 – The tension between colossal machines and miniature tabletop aesthetics11:49 – Colour, composition and the immersive quality of the diorama collection12:31 – Bullet time, slow motion and contemplative spectacle13:25 – Lighting, smoke, sparks, muzzle flashes and layered particle effects14:54 – Damien's response: walking through a virtual art gallery16:10 – Revealing details that players rarely notice during fast-paced combat18:15 – How the film maintains variety across its numerous battle scenes19:03 – The dioramas' original purpose as proposed loading screens19:17 – Wanting to take control of the camera and explore each composition20:01 – Imagining the work as an immersive VR experience21:07 – The limitations of video—and why wanting more is a mark of its success22:03 – Could the Unreal Engine scenes become fully explorable environments?22:19 – From photography to three-dimensional sculpture22:57 – Final verdict and closing thoughtsCredits -Co-hosts: Damien Valentine, Tracy HarwoodProducer: Damien ValentineEditor: Phil RiceMusic: Phil Rice & Suno AI

Iris van Herpen's boundary-defying, otherworldly work exists somewhere between couture, sculpture, science, technology, architecture, and nature. For nearly two decades, the Dutch fashion designer has radically expanded the possibilities of what forms haute couture can take, combining time-honored craftsmanship techniques with cutting-edge technologies and material innovations, from 3-D—and, perhaps eventually, 4-D—printing to bioluminescent algae, plasma, and even particle accelerators. While her practice boldly and unquestionably points toward the future, it's equally invested in ancient knowledge, deep time, and what might endure. Currently, a sweeping exhibition, titled “Sculpting the Senses” and showcasing some 140 of her designs, is on view at the Brooklyn Museum through Dec. 6. On this episode of Time Sensitive—our Season 14 opener and first-ever fully filmed conversation, now available to watch on YouTube—van Herpen reflects on the significance of movement in her work the importance of carving out meditative time for creative exploration, and why going slower actually allows her to do more, with greater depth.Special thanks to our Season 14 presenting partner, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Iris van Herpen[33:21] “Sculpting the Senses”[51:50] Philip Beesley[51:50] Björk[35:13] “Unfolding Time” (2024)[21:41] Sonic Starquakes (2026)[22:36] Lichtenberg figure[47:54] “The Gates of Hell” (1880–1917)[48:06] Musée Rodin[49:28] “The Garden of Earthly Delights” (1490–1510)[54:18] “Hybrid Holism” (2012)[58:24] Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we're taking a closer look at criminal justice—through the lens of abolition, accountability, and the power of the creative arts to tell fuller, truer stories.  This week we'll explore how artists like Akinsanya Kambon bring histories of colonization and liberation to life—connecting past and present in ways that demand we rethink punishment, justice, and repair. Subscribe to Laura on Substack Description [original release date September 2025]: With each glimmering piece he creates, artist Akinsanya Kambon brings suppressed histories of both colonization and liberation to life. His ceramic works depict struggle and survival across the African diaspora, and stepping into his studio is a spiritual experience, as Laura Flanders recently discovered. Kambon was a member of the Sacramento chapter of the Black Panther Party where he worked on the layout and illustration of the party's famous paper and became lieutenant for culture, illustrating among other things the party's ten point plan and works for young people. In 2023, he won the prestigious Mohn Award — the top prize given by the Hammer Museum for his participation in their biennial “Made in LA” show, titled Acts of Living. His one-man show opened in Beverly Hills at Marc Selwyn Fine Art in April 2025. An exhibition of his work will open at the New York Sculpture Center in May 2026. In this unique conversation, Flanders asks Kambon about his own survival stories, including his polio diagnosis, getting drafted into the Vietnam War, and his year on death row. Kambon was arrested in connection with the killing of a police officer and was later acquitted from that high-profile Oak Park Four case. Join Flanders and Kambon as they discuss how art keeps spirits alive, and catch Flanders' commentary on today's fight to control our nation's stories. “Art educates the masses of people. Not Black or white or Asian, this educates the masses of young people to our struggle, to how long they're struggling and how it's connected.” - Akinsanya Kambon “I thought of myself as an artist even when I was a child, because art was therapy for me . . . I used to always seem like I would always take the side of the underdog.” - Akinsanya Kambon Guest:  Akinsanya Kambon, Artist, Former Marine, Black Panther & Art Professor Special thanks: Cynthia Wornham, Annie Philbin, Marc Selwyn Fine Art    Additional Credits: Additional Crew:  Marco Amador, Producciones Cimarrón  Clips from the documentary short- "Akinsanya Kambon The Hero Avenges," Produced by The Hammer Museum;  Directed by Gabriel Noguez and Sean Rowry.

#80 – in conversation with Kosovar visual artist, Doruntina Kastrati. Doruntina Kastrati works with oral histories passed down and collected from family or community members or found in the context of the city and geography she lives and works in. She primarily creates  installations and large scale sculpture supported by video and sound through a process of site-responsive research.

Episode No. 773 is a summer clips episode featuring artist Lotus L. Kang. The Frye Art Museum, Seattle is showing "Lotus L. Kang: I hear the hollow boom of time" through September 27. The installation features large sheets of unfixed industrial film that have been exposed to light sources as part of a process Kang calls 'tanning,' a process that aligns film's surface to skin. Sculptures that include tatami mats as their base take up some of the space between the film sheets, which are suspended from above. The show also includes a kinetic sculpture that evokes the body. "I hear the hollow boom of time" was organized by Georgia Erger. Kang's work often blends sculpture, photography and installation in address of bodies, memories, and histories that change over time. Kang has been featured in exhibitions at the MCA Chicago, the Venice Biennale, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, and the 2021 triennial at New York's New Museum. This conversation was recorded in 2023 on the occasion of Kang's presentation of a project in the MCA Chicago's atrium. For images, see Episode No. 604. Instagram: Lotus L. Kang, Tyler Green.

When Bill Fontana sees a still object, he doesn't just notice what it looks like, he wonders what it sounds like. He asks himself, “what does it hear?” Bill is a sound sculptor. He places microphones and vibration sensors on objects, then speakers project sounds from the objects - sounds that can't really be heard with the human ear alone. The results are beautiful, other worldly, meditative sounds and he's been doing this for 50 years, all around the world. Now, Bill is Grace Cathedral's 2026 Artist in Residence. His latest installation is called “Resonance.” KALW's Jenee Darden spoke with him on “The Sights + Sounds Show.”

The artist Betye Saar died last week at the age of 99, just days before her 100th birthday. Saar was famously a leading voice of the Black Arts Movement of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and was known for repurposing found objects that depict harmful Black stereotypes, including ceramic "mammies" she repurposed into sculptures that transform and subvert their original racism. Jane Carpenter-Rock, acting director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, who wrote her dissertation on Saar's work, discusses the legacy of Betye Saar.  Photo by Anthony Barboza/Getty Images: Portrait of American artist Betye Saar, 1980s.

Roger Bowdler and Brent Elliott's The British Cemetery: Architecture, Landscape, Sculpture, published by Historic England (2026), traces the history of the cemetery from the 17th century to the present day. The cemetery emerged as a new landscape form in the 19th century in Britain but had deep roots in earlier churchyard practices and in fashionable garden landscape design. Cemeteries very quickly became a locus for the monumental expression of loss, family identity and social standing. The book offers a clear chronological narrative, with alternate chapters attending to landscape and monuments. The authors present unfamiliar primary data and introduce some welcome new themes including reference to the monumental mason industry and cemetery infrastructure. The authors draw examples from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and in doing so underline the very particular nature of Scottish funerary heritage. The book's principal strength is its collection of illustrations that include historic and contemporary photographs, landscape design maps and postcards. The text brings the narrative completely up to date, with reference to the natural burial movement and landscapes designed to meet Muslim burial need. This text is now very probably the best introduction to the material culture of the British cemetery, written by experts with over 70 years' experience in cemetery research and conservation. This interview, conducted by Julie Rugg of the University of York's Cemetery Research Group, is a meeting of enthusiasts for a landscape form that is moving and thought-provoking in equal measure.
