Vienna (Austria): U-Bahn [Subway].
Subject
In a subway station of Vienna I found the man you see on the right, standing still in the middle of a lane, wearing headphones and holding an humongous microphone in his hands. I was ambushing him along the wall, when the second man came into the frame: it seemed like Big Mike was asking for an interview. Actually, I think that Big Mike was a technician measuring the level of noise in the subway.

We continue our series of posts interviewing "recycled art" crafters & artists. This week, we interviewed Sophie Marsham, a well-known sculptor in the community of Recycled Art. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
I am Sophie Marsham, a sculptor, from London, working in reclaimed and found objects.
How did you become a "Recycled Art" artist?
I became a recycled art artist 25 years ago when I was at Chelsea Art School.
Since when are you working with recycled & upcycled materials and more general since when are you in the world of "Recycled Art"?
I partly used reclaimed materials in the beginning as it was a cheap resource as a student.
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
My can't live with essentials are wire, glue, nuts and bolts and tools.
How would you describe your style? Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
I make thought provoking, often humorous pieces from found objects. I love Joseph Cornell, Cornelia Parker, Haroshi and Kendra Haste.
How is your workspace, how do you make it inspiring?
My workspace is in the garden and full of inspiring objects, clock faces, springs, beads, glass, printing blocks, old tools, chocolate moulds etc...
What sorts of things are inspiring you right now? Where do you look for inspiration?
I am inspired by objects that I find in vintage fairs/carboot sales, especially if it's multiples of the same object, such as pen nibs, clock hands, teddy bear eyes... I am mostly inspired by nature, repeated patterns found in nature, bird feathers, snowflakes, shells, stones...
When do you feel the most creative?
I feel pretty creative all the time, as I'm constantly finding new objects to inspire me.
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
Making things by hand is the most rewarding and making one off art from something that has been previously used and discarded is the most exciting aspect of the work. I love it when the viewer works out what has been used for a certain sculpture, I love the intrigue. I believe in breathing new life into discarded objects.
What is your favorite medium to work in?
I mainly work in metal but also use wood, glass, resin...
What is your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure is good coffee and great cake.
What is your favorite thing to do (other than crafting)?
My favourite thing apart from art is art house independent films. I would love one day to make an animation film with some of my objects.
You have been involved in a lot of artistic projects, are you a full-time artist or is it just a hobby?
I am a full time artist, it's not a hobby and have been working for 22 years. I make tiny hand held pieces and have made many large scale installations up to 6 meters. I love to vary the scale.
Any websites that our readers should not miss?
Not a website to recommend as such, apart from my own of course www.sophiemarsham.com, but a great book called RAW + MATERIAL = ART.
Anything else you would like to tell to the « recycling community »?
Keep up with recycling, it will become even more vital for our kids and their kids.
Thanks a lot Sophie for this interview! :)
To see all the posts by Sophie, it's here.
Me and my cousins Hubby Balaji, both of us had an hours time of talking about the lives of these kids at the Ahobila Madam. They answered our silly questions on Religion, Mythology and god patiently. The session was one of the most enlightening and interesting ones i have ever had. This was shot while we spoke on many a things in general about life, religion, perspective, money etc.,
As Balaji started off with questions he urged me to ask more of them since im more comfortable in striking conversations with strangers. Of course he then later took over and the things that come out of these small great minds is fascinating. They are clear, focussed and balanced about just about everything! Something i never am, was or could be.

Today, we had the chance to ask some questions to Wesley Marien, Crafter from Belgium who made all kind of gorgeous furniture from recycled wooden pallets. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
My name is Wesley Marien. I live in Belgium, am 31 years old, married to a fantastic wife, a little son (from a former relationship). I’m kind of a rebel. At 20 years old, I started to D.J., but got into music in general when I started playing at age 11. I like to be as versatile as possible. I’m always looking for practical solutions at home or when people ask for my help or skills, and it makes me happy when they ask me. It’s hard to obtain a job though because I’m not the easiest guy to work with, so I want to start on my own business. I can quickly add to my skills, so I want to start something small - on my own and be my own boss. I do like to providing a service to people, so what better way to do it than with some creativity?
Why do you craft?
The urge to create things is greater than ever. Everything I make, I make with pride!
How did you learn to do wood crafts?
I have a basic education in woodcraft from school but never properly finished school. I like to challenge myself because I know I can learn anything if I put my mind to it. My father took me along to do some jobs with family or anyone who paid him when I was only 11 - 12 years old. Ever since I left school I became my father as my friends always could rely on me to do a job no matter what it was. I know a bit of everything... woodwork, electricity, metal, plumbing, and renovation in general, and I’m glad of it!
How long have you been working with pallets?
Since last summer.
Why did you choose to work with pallets instead of purchased wood?
I think we have all the wood we need in the world to recycle. There’s no need for cutting down new trees for mass production. :)
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
My wife & my son!!! My music!!! My wood!!!
Are there any brands that are your favorites?
I’m not a brand type of guy.
How would you describe your crafting style?
Not perfect at all but solid and playful; unorthodox and maybe a little stubborn.
Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
Not really. You can learn from anybody and anything.
Where do you do your wood crafts? How would you describe your workspace?
In my shed and its well organized, otherwise it’s impossible to do a decent job. I always work organized, but never with a plan.
How did you make your workspace more functional and/or inspiring?
I made my own workbench, toolbox, shelves and I know a thing or two about electricity so that’s all well provided. If you create your own workspace then the morale and respect for your equipment is so much greater then when it’s all store-bought.
What types of things inspire you?
Inspiration is like love… you never know from which corner it lurks – like finding a site like 1001pallets.com for example.
Where do you look for inspiration for a new woodcraft?
It all depends… since I’m stubborn I like to do as little inspiration as possible. Not that I don’t do research, but I only need to see something once and then my brain starts to work.
When do you feel the most creative?
All day long!! But it never hurts to let your mind rest every now and then :)
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
To put a hold on mass production! It’s hard to answer this particular question since I’m not happy with society the way it is. Cutting wood on a massive scale is one thing but what about all the animals that live in and around the trees!? Cut a tree here or there but not the horrible clear-cutting. That’s sad as hell!!
What is your favorite medium to work in (other than pallets)?
Any wood will do as long as it’s not rotten. :)
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Push the limit always little by little. Never be afraid to try something new, and watch your fingers.
What are your most important safety tips when woodworking?
Train a steady hand and logic is your friend. Also there’s no need for rushing things while working with wood and be sure to use sharp tools.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Cannabis.
What are some of your other hobbies or favorite things to do (other than crafting)?
Electronic music plays a big part in my life. I’ve played it for 20 years now and also recently into producing tracks and sounds. It’s my ultimate anti-stress, cure against society… music is always with me :) I also like to cook for my family since I’ve worked in several restaurant kitchens and picked up a thing or two from the experience. I make the best salads according to my wife!
Growing crops is also a thing we do in our garden and I have an indoor greenhouse where I spend every day an hour or two. Another thing that I just absolutely love is Western horseback riding. I’m not the best rider, but unafraid and they all say I have the talent for it. My wife says I have golden hands because everything I touch ends up well or turns into gold :)
What are some of your best tips for breaking down, prepping, and cleaning pallets before you build with them?
Take your time, inspect your pieces you want to use and decide where they all go in the project. If there are flaws in the wood, leave them in and give them a strategic place so like it’s meant to be there. Sanding is something you love or hate. I kinda love it because it reveals your end product so train yourself to sand, sand, sand and then sand some more. When the wood is to beat up throw it in the stove :)
Have you designed any special tools or jigs for wood crafts?
Not really but that will change soon.
What are some wood working skills you really want to learn?
Carving and sculpturing.
What is the one project you’re the proudest of so far?
For the moment it must be my famous (local) cathouse.
What else would you like to share with the pallet community?
No project can be bigger than the wood you have!
Editor’s Note: Thank you for your time and for sharing your story with us, and with our fellow Crafters. Your work is beautiful and inspiring to all of us, and we truly look forward to more from you in the future! Keep those gorgeous pieces coming!
Thanks Wesley for this interview :)

Recently, there was an interview about me on the net. I was asked to show three of my photos that I liked and tell why I liked them. I also told how and why I do my photography in the way that I do. You can read the full interview at this web address:

A new interview with me has just been posted to the J.G. Ballard blog / website: "ballardian.com."
Go to there: The Light Painter of Mojave D: An Interview with Troy Paiva
It's the most comprehensive one I've ever done, covering subjects not usually broached in other interviews. I rattle on about the reasons for, and meaning of the explosion in popularity of urban exploration on a world-wide scale, my influences, the philosophy behind the process of night photography, how my brother (also a well known night photographer) and I avoid stepping on each other's creative toes, and many details about my new book.
It's an honor to find my work so deeply associated with Ballard, one of the most brilliant sci-fi writers of all time.

I feel very honoured to have been interviewed by Jan Allsopp on her wonderful new blog on figurative drawing - The Artling.
the-artling.com/artist-interview-liz-steel/
What a privilege to follow on from an interview with Rick Tulka - Rick is in fact the reason that I met Jan. We live in the same state in Australia but our paths had never really crossed.... It just so happened that in 2009 we were both in Paris at the same time and both visited Le Select in the same week. Rick told me she was in town and we met up and sketched the rear of Notre Dame together!
Check out the interview and start following her great blog!
