Who are some artists you have been jammin' on as of late?
hmmmm well I saw Alex Bag lecture recently which was
amazing. She made an “experimental” film called “Untitled- Fall ‘95”
which is about art school, & she has other great work too. I’ve also
been looking at some Japanese designers like Rei Kawakubo, Yohji
Yamamoto, and Junya Watanabe. It’s interesting, in Kansas City I was
making a lot of really colorful work with lots of pinks & neons, but
when I moved to the North West I almost immediately started making
really monochromatic work & became interested in very clean, minimal
black & white images. (my Tumblr archive shows the abrupt change). I
haven’t been seeking out new artists to look at lately, which is weird.
But I have been getting inspiration & ideas from other places,
mainly Ram Dass lectures (and, of course, Be Here Now) as well as the
Tibeten Book of the Dead. I dunno, this place is dark and rainy and all
the old trees make you think about death, so I’ve been making work about
death (which is impossible).
What artists have you been into lately??? I bet you have good ones.
