Celia Pym: In this episode, we’re talking to Celia Pym, an artist living and working in London. Working with garments that belong to individuals as well as items in museum archives, she has extensive experience with the spectrum and stories of damage, from small moth holes to larger accidents with fire. Her interests concern the evidence of damage, and how repair draws attention to the places where garments and cloth wear down and grow thin. In clothing, this is often to do with use and how the body moves. Pym was shortlisted for the Women’s Hour Craft Prize and her work has been exhibited all over the world and is held in the permanent collections of the Crafts Council UK and Noveau Musée National de Monaco. As recommended by Metro, The Week, Wallpaper and FastCompany.

Chapter 10: Interview with Mélanie Myers: This chapter features an interview with artist Mélanie Myers. It is three and a half minutes long. Hi Mélanie, how would you describe your drawing style?  I use colored pencil, often drawing on prepared sheets or prepared structures of papier-mâché reliefs. The drawings are textured with tight repetitive marks, dense, quite colorful, figurative. I think I impose strict little rules on myself without fully realizing. I feel like I draw what I see, like anyone else would. It's funny when I work with my assistant in the studio and I have to try to verbally explain to her how to draw the same as I did, that's when I notice the rules and constraints I’m self-imposing. For example, strokes that generally go in the same direction to form patches of color. Colors that do not overlap but touch each other. Unless it's pale. But 80% of the time it is pressed hard on the pencil. There is negotiation between reproducing reality and letting go, or just follo
