Authentic Obsessions

Siara Berry - Complexities of Home Life


Listen Later

Siara Berry creates multi-medium sculptures influenced by neighborships, housing systems, and American domestic landscapes. Deeply influenced by her upbringing in the suburban Midwest, her work contends with cultural narratives about place and purpose, property and people. Using a combination of found object and traditional craft processes, Berry deploys a visual language that is equally quotidian and absurd.

Listen in as we chat about neighborships, domestic landscapes, construction sites, the lawn, yard signs, and control over nature.

Takeaways

  1. Artists should feel creative, comfy, and cared for.
  2. Every artist is working in their best interest in what feels right to them, and when it doesn’t feel right it’s a negotiation between the artist and the work.
  3. Acknowledge that social media is not the full picture.
  4. Neighborships are a collective effort in living a private life.
