Nice little plug…
The Phoner
Had my first interview today… we call them “phoners” in the biz. Admittedly, I was a little nervous so I grabbed a shot from the freezer and descended into my basement studio. I lit up a smoke and gave Miss Fahey from the Kent Stater a call.
The interview was regarding the Centennial Alumni Exhibition II: Nexts, held at the Kent Stat School of Art. I had one painting hanging, my favorite one-as a matter of fact. My interviewer also declared that Lifter was her favorite out of the 45 hanging, which, I admit was quite flattering.
The interview went well, I think. I tried to keep my answers quick and interesting, without rambling. She asked about my inspiration, background and message. I briefly explained some of my processes, and why I paint the things that I paint. Funny, I just don’t know the answer some of these questions. I can’t say why I paint- it just seems like painting is what I’ve been put here to do, and it would be a shame to stop. Or maybe it just seems that way because I’ve already spent all that money on art school.
