Ep. 148: Strategically Creating a Lifestyle of Healing with Eliza Redmann
On this episode we interview Durham, NC based sculptural artist Eliza Redmann. We talk about capturing her experience as a person with a brain injury in her work, pivoting from architecture into full time artist, leveraging art licensing agreements, taking control of your own success and the power of outsourcing work in your business.
Eliza Redmann
Sculptural Artist, Founded of Folded Poetry | Durham, NC
Artist Bio:
My name is Eliza Redmann – I am a sculptor, architect, and founder of Folded Poetry design studio based in Durham, North Carolina. When a car accident upended my health, personal life, and career as an architect, I was forced to reinvent myself. I found a way to utilize my creative potential for healing by creating art.
My passion to create is now driven by my changed experience of life after my traumatic brain injury. The geometries I design are inspired by persistent visual disturbances resulting from my injury. I create framed pieces of paper sculpture, as well as free-mounted large scale geometric sculptures. Most recently I’ve been creating acoustical artworks which serve to reduce the volume in spaces while also adding beauty.
I love exploring functional art and innovating solutions for practical design problems. While my work is indeed impactful as art itself, more importantly it has been the primary driver behind the recreation of my health and the reimagining of my life’s purpose.
