"I was not just interacting with an art crowd, and I think that was the greatest responsibility I placed on myself: to be as inclusive as possible, and to communicate fluidly about creative practice in as accessible of terms and accessible of settings as possible."
As my Artist in the Community Residency was coming to a close, I was invited back to the City Podcast with Christopher George to reflect on my time in Spartanburg and the evolution of my practice over the last year. Christopher is a fantastic interviewer and editor, and we really covered a lot of ground in this conversation.
