  • Summary

  • Ruth Abernethy, sculptor of some of the most iconic public art in Canada, joins the podcast to discuss her work.

    Ruth has been a sculptor for more than thirty years, documenting in bronze many quintessential Canadian figures, such as Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson, and Margaret Atwood.

    Her connection to the theatre world goes quite deep. She began her career at Stratford, creating the sets and decorations that helps the festival bring Shakespeare to life.
