Can a visual art have a soundtrack?   It can if it's the sculpture of Christina Shmigel.   Shmigel's work is industrial, spare and desolate, yet calming and hopeful at the same time, capturing both a sense of yearning and a sense of loss.

But to truly appreciate her art, you have to hear her story.   Presented as a multi-part audio documentary, Vistas and Visions reveals the tale behind the craft, and shows how the story of a life becomes sculpture of steel and stone.
