Watch 'The Sculptor Speaks' Ivor Novello Award nominee / by Olivia Louvel

The Sculptor Speaks was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award in the Sound Art category at the Ivors Composer Awards 2020. I was delighted, how wonderful to be part of such a celebration of talents across the UK. The ceremony due to take place at the British Museum was cancelled, due to covid, but replaced with a broadcast on BBC Radio 3. I am very grateful for this nomination, it brought visibility to my project, and that means a lot, especially in the context of this challenging year. Sound artist Kathy Hinde was awarded the Ivor Novello in Sound Art for her excellent project ‘Twittering Machines’.

The Sculptor Speaks is a resounding of a 1961 recording of Barbara Hepworth’s voice, premiered on Resonance Extra, followed by an audio-visual iteration.
