                  In this interview, Thibault speaks with San Francisco-based artist, educator, and writer Danielle Lawrence.   

                  Original airdate May 5, 2020, presented in conjunction with Minnesota Street Project.  

                  Danielle Lawrence is a San Francisco-based artist whose work merges unconventional materials, painted imagery and 3-dimensional form to renegotiate painting’s traditional anatomy and definition. Her practice addresses the conceptual nature of hybridity by scrambling long-standing divisions and arguments between painting and sculpture, abstraction and representation and craft and fine art. Reworking painting’s physicality creates a fluid approach to its historical form, surface and materiality opening up sites of potential to explore sexuality, gender and class.
