This morning I was on Woman’s Hour<\/a> speaking about my work with sounds. I was nominated for this honour by my amazing friend Kate Davies<\/a>, whose inspiring interview aired yesterday. Our interviews are links in a chain started by Maylin Scott for Listener Week. Maylin recommended Kate, Kate recommended me, I have nominated the wonderful Lara<\/a> for tomorrow, and so it goes… a chain of interviews with women, connected by female friendships and yarn: HURRAH!<\/p>\n

\"Myself

Myself and Lara in Edinburgh, 2010<\/p><\/div>\n

Because I spend so much time editing audio, I am an infrequent listener to day-time radio. However, no feminist professing an interest in women’s lives could be ignorant of the amazing National Institution that is BBC Woman’s Hour<\/a>. It was on Woman’s Hour that I first discovered the artist Bobby Baker <\/a>– one of my all time favourite art heroines; and it was while listening to Alison Lapper<\/a> speaking about representations of disability on Woman’s Hour<\/a> that I was inspired to produce my own radio show about disability entitled The Missability Radio Show<\/a><\/em>. It was a big deal for me to be on there!<\/p>\n

I spoke about some very early work I did using the sounds of knitting, and I also spoke about some of the sounds recorded for a more recent project, Listening to Shetland Wool<\/a><\/em>. Jane Garvey asked me about my current work in the Charles Dickens Museum<\/a>, which celebrates Catherine Dickens. <\/p>\n
