Bill Wilkey fires his geometric forms in a soda atmosphere that exposes and softens their textured edges. In this week’s interview we talk about his mind-blowing experience visiting Brunelesschi’s Dome, the impact his Archie Bray residency had on his career, and starting a life in Helena, MT with his family. www.wilkeyarts.com. This interview is the first in a series featuring former Bray residents. This year’s Bray residency application deadline is December 19th. Check out www.archiebray.org/residencies for more information on how to apply.

 

I would like to highlight a few friends of the podcast that need help recovering from Hurricane Helene. Cassie Butcher, Maria Andrade Troya, and the other artists of Curve Studios were hit hard with flooding up to the second story of their building. The studio isn’t able to reopen, but please support the Go Fund Me linked above to help the artists relocate.
