Irish visual artist Rachel Doolin chats to Éadaoin Glynn about the challenge of taking the leap to become a professional artist, how materials inspire her, her slow research-based, collaborative approach and why she likes writing grant applications. Rachel graduated with a BA in Fine Art from the Crawford College of Art & Design and has received many awards, grants and residencies. Rachel's multidisciplinary approach merges art, experimentation, and ecology.  She collaborates with artists, NGOs,  community and professional organisations to create meaningful artworks in response to social and environmental issues.  In this episode Rachel talks about: Going to art college as a new mother Research in the artic Svalbard Seed Bank, the back-up for the world's seeds.   The sound of the glacier Seed research and working with Irish Seedsavers Inspiration for Heirloom Being overwhelmed with information The stories within seeds Seed Cloud recordings Seedarium, a wooden sculptural installation with a collection of donated seeds displayed encased in resin.

Dowth Hall megalithic passage tomb, said to be the most important megalithic find in Ireland in fifty years by archaeologist, Clíodhna Ní Lionáin Quartz was found in the tomb, which was not local to the area. Why was it there and what did it mean? Triboluminescence - quartz creates an orange glow when rubbed together. Sí in modern Irish language refers to both the megalithic mounds and the spirits believed to be connected to ancient burial sites. White quartz stones, known as 'Clocha Geala' or ‘Shining Stones' have featured prominently at many of these ancient sites.  The theory is that quartz was used  in religious ceremonies and astronomical observations.  Quartz is an oscillator of sound and is used in our current material culture in our phones, solar panels, fibre optics.

Andy Summers first achieved worldwide fame as one-third of the legendary rock band The Police. However, The Police was only one chapter of Summers’ successful career as he was a prolific sideman before joining the Sting-fronted power trio.After The Police disbanded, Summers became an in-demand composer for film projects (e.g. Weekend At Bernie's), beyond recording solo albums and presenting dozens of shows featuring his photography. The latest solo effort from Summers is last year’s Triboluminescence, and I had the pleasure of speaking with the guitar great by phone in September 2017.More on Andy Summers can be found online at www.andysummers.com.
