Artist Talk with Oliver MacDonald

Join Adam Reynolds Memorial Bursary recipient Oliver MacDonald at Turner Contemporary, Margate for an artist talk on 6 May. 

Traditionally trained as a willow weaver, Oliver is spending his three-month residency exploring willow weaving and its materials through a conceptual lens, creating large-scale, performative objects and installations on-site.

Oliver spoke to Shape about his residency in a 5-minute blog, which you can read here.
