Art on the Air is pleased to present a special interview with internationally-known multidisciplinary artist Sheb Wooley!
From his bio:
"Sheb Wooley primarily works in the medium of raw materials from a classical standpoint, bringing lofty aesthetics to earth by engaging urbanistic methodologies. Making a statement of the environment with tools of the world by cultivating transparent mappings.
His recent work, in his hometown of Ludowici, Georgia, was titled “Cream for a Day”, an interactive installation where visitors driving through would experience, in textures, smells, and screen projections, becoming a cake. From primary materials, through the baking process, and completing the journey with a light, fluffy icing made with the natural elements from the area.
Mr. Wooley’s next project on the horizon is named “Mudder”, set to be in Savannah, Georgia, downtown at Forsyth Park, and will be a humble tribute to the roots of the lowcountry region with a medium of modern days. His creations have appeared in municipalities throughout the world, in remote settings, and have gained critical recognition and acclaim."
