What’s on the horizon for me? I
have ideas for works on paper; I
need free time to experiment and
play with that.
I’ve started a blog featuring interviews
of prominent women in
art and architecture, and I’m
enjoying this as an addendum
to my art making. Meeting these
women is an inspiration.
As for marketing, I let the galleries
do their promoting: it’s their job.
Even in this digital age I religiously
send out a postcard. Some
people show up at the exhibition
card in hand. It’s something
physical and just one more
personal poke. A curator at MCA
said she gets my postcards and
puts them in her Waterloo file.
She doesn’t do anything with
digital announcements. I have a
website; I’m on Facebook and
Twitter specifically to promote
my blog. I feel artists should do
community giving: sit on boards,
donate, and conduct workshops,
demos, studio tours—it’s
marketing but I do it because I
want to.
When people experience my
work, I want the color to talk to
them. I want them to feel excited,
to look beneath the surface and
see the mark making and have
some sort of psychological
revelation. I put it in the viewers’
court to ponder, to ask their own
questions.
