I'm so grateful that Pat took the time to talk with me for a few hours about his photography practice. It was so wonderful to hear how he dealt with coming to the work of great photographers before him by letting it blow his mind but not blow away his curiosity and interest in making images. I was fascinated to find out that he curated one of the first exhibits ever of Vivian Maier's photography at Wilco's Solid Sound Festival.

We hope you will give it a listen and check out his new album he talks about on his bandcamp page and the great photo connection that led him back to finish a project he had begun years ago.

This three-hour conversation covers A LOT of ground from teaching, horizontal ambition, MOCA MAC, and the grief of not getting to teach together anymore. We hope you give it a listen!!!

In this roaming conversation Kristina and I talk about the gifts and challenges of her role as Department Chair at WKU, her recent glass residency at the Toledo Museum, adjacent vs integrated practices, the iterative nature of having a studio practice, and how she mainly identifies as a tinkerer above all else. Like in my initial writing about her work in Number magazine 20 years ago when I said I felt like I was inside one of her paintings this conversation felt like having that same experience with her as my real-time guide. We would love for you to give it a listen.

In this episode the Nathaniel Covington we talk about his artistic practice, skateboarding, his recent autism diagnosis in his late 30's, teaching, and lots of stuff in between. We had a few technical difficulties recording this episode and lost some of the audio but we think it's still enough to tell the story of our conversation in his studio.
