Artists in Conversation
Tools: Our Favorites
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Maryann and Jessica share their favorite tools. This, of course, leads them all over the place. They talk about fear of painting, easing back into painting after a break, and the power of play!
The images they discuss can be found at this website:

Additionally they talk about an artist, Jane Davies, who creates improvisational drawings, and another artist, Cai Guo-Qiang, who "paints" with gunpowder.
Lastly, you can hear tea mugs in the background on this episode, if you listen carefully. Sometimes Maryann and Jessica drink tea before and during a recording. Usually they drink silently but, alas, not in this episode. You'll also hear a dog noise in the check-in at the end. Real life is noisy!
