In this episode, Lucy Branch speaks with sculptor Tim Shaw about his journey from troublesome teenager to one of Britain's most compelling contemporary sculptors working in bronze and public art.

Tim shares the pivotal moment that enabled him to pursue sculpture full-time, and how he's built an autonomous creative life, working primarily on bodies of work he wants to make rather than chasing commissions.

We discuss his award-winning sculpture "Man on Fire" at the Imperial War Museum North, why he finds it easier to express emotion through bronze than words, and why he's never quite satisfied with his work - even when it wins major awards.

Topics covered:

  • How a book on Rodin changed everything at age 14
  • The difference between conservation and restoration
  • Working with difficult subjects like war and trauma
  • The challenge of creating public sculpture that makes people uncomfortable
  • Building a career on your own terms
