5450 Heather Spears (1934-2021) was a Canadian poet, artist, sculptor and educator, who from 1962 lived in Denmark. Much of her artistic output focused on drawing portraits, particularly of children and childbirth.
5450 "Artist Sop explores alternative strategies for self-care during the Covid-19 pandemic through a series of meditative sound works. As someone in the "clinically extremely vulnerable" category, Sop was forced to shield during the pandemic. They narrate the process of building a secret den in a cemetery at the edges of a wood near where they live. The den provides a space for respite, deeply connected to nature: a structure of protection and safety in which to take shelter."--From Wellcome Collection's website.|uhttps://wellcomecollection.org/exhibitions/X2s3IBMAAHbq_CtG
