Back to the Drawing Board

When was the last time you drew something?

In this episode I have a conversation with D.B.Dowd about some of his ideas on the practice of drawing in his book Stick Figures: Drawing as a Human Practice. We talk about the difference between drawing and painting, how drawing is not used to its full advantage and how we can improve our relationship with it. As an artist passionate about drawing, I am very excited to share this episode with you!

It's time for another solo episode!

In this one I share with you my latest thoughts on 'community.' More specifically, I establish two types of communities, and introduce some psychoanalysis. I believe that the boundary between self and the other can teach us a bit about how we relate to others and on a larger scale, to the 'community.' This theory, I hope to connect, sometime in the future, and bring it back full circle to the art context.

In this episode I talk to artist and entreprenuer Kanika Gupta about 'stories' in art, how to not let them become the focus, and of course, diversity, disability and representation in the arts. Understanding the viewpoint of an artist is of utmost importance at a time when the arts are rallying for values such as these.
