Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Change, Risk and New Beginnings with Anita Phillips
Q: What helped you navigate major changes like moving locations and shifting to full-time art?
Art friendships, mentoring, residencies, and a willingness to try new things provided the support and structure to take the leap, while keeping practical plans in place.
Change, Risk and New Beginnings with Anita Phillips
Q: How do you describe who you are and what you do to someone meeting you for the first time?
I define myself primarily as a landscape painter who also explores abstracts and still life, but I always return to the landscape that drew me in, and I emphasize the process, rigor, and how place informs meaning.
Art Friendships with Sam Michelle & Debbie Mackenzie
Q: What drew you to become friends and collaborators, and how did your shared space influence your work?
They describe meeting in a shared space that became a catalyst for a deep connection, allowing them to observe each other's processes closely, support one another emotionally, and push one another toward professional growth.
Inside the Affordable Art Fair with Georgia Huestis
Q: Can you talk me through how the affordable art fair works and the relationship between galleries, artists, collectives, and the fair itself?
The fair is gallery-led, primarily featuring galleries and collectives rather than solo booths; collectives must have multiple artists and a shared vision, and the fair helps connect artists with suitable galleries or collectives while providing a clear hanging plan and booth layout to ensure cohesive displays.
When the Viewer Becomes Part of the Work- with Harriet Schwarzrock
Q: How do you approach viewer interaction during the making of your works, and does it shift over time?
Interaction isn't just a post-hoc effect; while I'm making, the phenomenon inside the vessel guides what happens, and I've moved from blown glass to borosilicate tubing to explore more capacitive, symbiotic relationships between vessels that can glow together.
