Conversation with Sheila Pepe (2022)

Video (58:27): Sheila Pepe was joined by The Church’s Chief Curator Sara Cochran, who interviewed Sheila on her work featured in their “Threading the Needle” exhibition (2022).

‘Known for crocheting large-scale, ephemeral installations and sculptures, Sheila spent her residency installing a sight specific piece that hangs from The Church’s wooden rafters, the first time an artist has worked specifically with the historic architecture of the building. The discussion covered the process and planning involved in creating the work within The Church – presenting the sculpture that is sometimes intersecting and sometimes so deeply seated within the structure as to not be apparent. Sheila’s vision involves optics, haptic gesture, and word/image association.’ – The Church
