Shana Kaplow is a visual artist working with large-scale, ink-on-paper installation, sculpture, and video. Her images of mass-produced household objects peruse the familiar and the enigmatic confronting a society organized around ever-expanding consumption and exploitation. In this face-to-face conversation in Shana Kaplow's beautiful St. Paul studio, we cover a huge range of topics including experiencing and making a painting as an embodied experience, the energetic quality of subject matter, ephemeral experiences of everyday objects, and the complexity of paradoxes in art and life. We talk about Shana’s relationship to art and at the same time, how art is a way of expressing her relationship to the world around her.
