In this episode I had the chance to speak with the insightful artist Rachael Anderson about her process creating art. Figures, line-work, shapes and extrusions are all ways to describe her work.

Minimal artwork is hard to achieve, as she says ‘It’s difficult to know when a piece of your work might be finished’.
