SALVAGE

Please enjoy my conversation with Bonny Leibowitz. Here’s Bonny’s statement about her latest installation which I find very exciting. Her work embodies concepts of Post-naturalism — a perspective that questions the objectification of nature as pristine and separate from humans. The installations are simulacra of environmental stories, histories, and concepts of nature, all of which have been constructed and distorted by humans. Just as nature itself is hybridized and transformed by industry, so are the narratives we create. The installations serve as situations where the distinction between reality and representation breaks down, and the representation becomes a reality unto itself.

Please enjoy my conversation with Chrissanth Gross.
Chrissanth and I chatted about her early start in art as a daughter of artists, her figure drawings and her plein air practice. We dove into how she gives back to her community by picking up roadside trash. Then we talked about her activism of making a 47 foot tidal wave of plastic trash that she collects in her own home and travels with to Albany NY to present as a visual aid to legislators to help pass the plastic packaging reduction bill.

Please enjoy my conversation with Carol Paik. Carol discovered her love of art-making relatively late, and is trying hard to catch up. She is interested in many different media, but most enjoys working with repurposed textiles. After years of buying expensive and often toxic materials for her work, her goal now is to create art exclusively out of the unappreciated, overlooked, landfill-destined stuff she finds around her, of which there is a great abundance.

Please enjoy my conversation with Lynn Goldstein. Lynn and I have been friends and accountability buddies for a long time. We have monthly conversations on our art practice and art business goals and of course life in general.

Lynn is deeply intrigued by history and the gradual passage of time evident in weathered frescoes, worn paint on building walls, and the intricate textures of the natural world. To emulate these textures in her work, Lynn uses multiple paint layers, marks, and imperfections created by the use of unconventional art-making tools such as trowels, scrapers, sandpaper, and chisels.

Please enjoy my conversation with Erik Jon Olson. Using quilted plastic waste as his medium, Erik creates works that deal with the effects of consumerism, mass consumption and unfettered capitalism. By layering environmental issues with social justice messaging, his art emphasizes our alienation from the environment and each other, our willingness to waste, and our subsequent need for healing.
