We interviewed all shortlisted artists and asked them about their background, how they started making art, what inspires them, about their recent work, how they develop their skills, why they applied for the Scottish Sculptor Award and what their impression was after visiting Edinburgh Park for the first time.
Head over to the news section in the My Edinburgh Park website to read each of the 5 shortlisted artists' full interview.
