‘We’re all containers for each other’s emotions’: π.ο. in Conversation with Sandy Caldow

I first met Sandy Caldow about 30 years ago at Qdos gallery in Lorne, a seaside town in Victoria, where i read poetry for an exhibition. We met up again in Melbourne after she’d left Lorne and moved into a house in Preston – was i in for a surprise! Shifting a worker of clay, like Sandy, into a new studio is a mammoth enterprise – the lift and shift of it is enormous – i pleaded with her to make ‘thimbles’ instead, but she was undeterred.
