Sari is joined by cultural insights expert Megan E. Collins for their second annual Summer Book Club series. This month's pick is W. David Marx's 2022 book Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion and Constant Change

We really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend for readers looking to take a deeper look at the hierarchies in our society and how status tiers inform cultural capital.

In our conversation, we hone in on how Status and Culture applies to modern day internet culture and of course, we discuss the applications of the book to the art world.

Sari chats with her friend and fellow Austin artist and gallery owner Ella Nilsson about making the most out of an art space for creating art and exhibiting.

Ella is a great example of an artist wearing multiple hats as she not only has her practice, but she also owns and operates Hangar Art Studios in Austin and worked for 15 years at Ikea as a design manager.

Sari discusses the topic of cringe: how our tendency to experience that emotion comes out of a societal desire to maintain group cohesion, and why she believes embracing a certain level of cringe is necessary to have a steady art practice.

Sari also talks about some of the cringe she's experienced as an artist online and her tips for overcoming the feelings of fear and embarrassment that can follow us as creatives.

Sari discusses the myth that artists have to attend art school to be legitimate. She weighs the pros and cons of art school, how she came to major in fine art, and how artists can continue their painting education outside the confines of an institution.
