Please enjoy my conversation with Rebecca McGee Tuck. Rebecca and I had an IG live conversation back in April 2024, which became the impetus for this podcast. I thought it would be appropriate to start season two, and the New Year, with a proper interview with Rebecca. Rebecca is a fiber artist, sculptor and a dedicated ocean activist. Her artwork serves as a visual narrative, transforming discarded materials from our throw-away society into environmentally aware works of art. In her practice, Rebecca is rooted in the reuse of discarded materials, creating found object fiber sculptures that resonate with sustainability and environmental consciousness.
