Alyson and Miranda,
I very much enjoyed your conversation on the podcast and I learned a few new ways of thinking about my art (photography).

In particular, I especially appreciated Patricia’s ideas that “Artists whose work you admire are making a deep investigation into a singular set of ideas.” I see this in photographers whose work I admire such as William Neill.

Another highlight for me was a similar idea that “The ideas that I’m investigating will deepen and mature and fully realize over multiple objects.” This resonates with me because I develop themed portfolios of images at the suggestion of photographer William Neill. He advocates that developing themed portfolios puts one in the frame of mind to develop such ideas more fully and to consciously pursue images that develop the themes.

Lastly, I really appreciated “Your artwork is always in a dialogue with a social context that comes out of you.” The conversation around this topic was very intriguing and sent my mind wandering many times and I had to rewind the podcast over and over to avoid missing any nuggets.

Thanks again for a really inspiring conversation!!

Listening to this was very timely – because in this time of “stay at home” and walking through my neighborhood – I have been thinking about getting some artists in my neighborhood together for a monthly critique. This reminded me why I left so many critique groups over the years – they didn’t have these rules! These are good guidelines!

Two of my art heroines in conversation! You care deeply about artists and art and insist that a dedicated studio practice is necessary for artistic growth. I can not say enough about both Crit Lab and ACSS…and what each has contributed to my artistic growth. Thank you Alyson and Patricia!
