SALVAGE – Details, episodes & analysis

Please enjoy my conversation with Bonny Leibowitz. Here’s Bonny’s statement about her latest installation which I find very exciting. Her work embodies concepts of Post-naturalism — a perspective that questions the objectification of nature as pristine and separate from humans. The installations are simulacra of environmental stories, histories, and concepts of nature, all of which have been constructed and distorted by humans. Just as nature itself is hybridized and transformed by industry, so are the narratives we create. The installations serve as situations where the distinction between reality and representation breaks down, and the representation becomes a reality unto itself.

Please enjoy my conversation with Judy Villett. Judy’s work combines many techniques, beginning with commercial prints, her own digital photographs printed on fabric, or hand dyed fabrics. She may stencil, paint, embellish, piece, or appliqué these and then finally machine quilt them. Judy says - “The world around us is colorful and filled with texture. I love taking those elements from nature and ​the patterns of our every-day living and create landscapes in fabric and thread.” We started our conversation talking about Judy’s installation The Jellyfish Project, which utilizes antique doilies from her family stash and more!

Please enjoy my conversation with Carol Paik. Carol discovered her love of art-making relatively late, and is trying hard to catch up. She is interested in many different media, but most enjoys working with repurposed textiles. After years of buying expensive and often toxic materials for her work, her goal now is to create art exclusively out of the unappreciated, overlooked, landfill-destined stuff she finds around her, of which there is a great abundance.
