![]() And for those I felt–I guess lonely, isolated, to an unhealthy extent when I was making them. What is it like to visualize a personal experience? I think I’m trying to ask more about your experience. So the thing I noticed about them (and I’m sorry I’m going to talk to an artist about their art in this way, it feels wrong)-Īlright-well it feels like the pieces are very sparse in this way-you know it’s just a figure with very nice colors on this white paper-but what is the process of going from the personal to creating that object with that form?Īre you asking what my process is for those particular pieces? So you have these two pieces in the gallery-and it’s hard for me even to understand visual arts (I’m much more of a literature person). I was really bad at writing when I was a kid so I would just draw-it was a lot easier for me-and even now when I journal half of it is drawing, because I find visual representations of things easier to portray than written or spoken. I think it is something that’s still valuable to me as a method of creating things, or expressing what or how I’m feeling, or making concrete a period of my life through visual representation. Well I think that that would be placing it in the realm of something that I just do for the sake of doing it. So how did it happen that you started doing it regularly? Did you just start so young that it became second nature to you? I guess I’m thinking that some people can start out in art-like where I was going to school painting was emphasized as an important part of education-but there was a point where I just realized that that wasn’t for me. Yeah I don’t really think about commodifying any of my passions or any of the things that I pursue-that’s just not something that really occurs to me. I wasn’t really into it to the extent that I wanted to go to school for it or pursue it as a career but its always been something that I love very dearly. Then later on I did some summer art programs for myself. So I was basically drawing forever and we did a lot of those really sweet pieces where you wet watercolor paper and then you can just can go to town, and no matter what you do it just comes out beautiful. When I was young my mom thought that art was a big part of what people should learn, or what is a good skill to have-that it’s an important way to express oneself. So how did you get started in Visual Art? Unfortunately the exhibit where her two pieces were displayed has ended, but I found the conversation worthwhile enough to still post it-to show what kind of artistic talent we have here at St. This interview was a way to get both of those on display. I’m a big fan of Sofe Cote’s work and thoughts on Art-work and we regularly talk about art (when we do talk at all).
