This past Friday I gave an artist talk at Westobou Gallery in Augusta, GA, and honestly—it was a great time. The space is gorgeous (hello, tin ceiling and dreamy lighting), and I got to chat about my work, which is always slightly nerve-wracking but ultimately rewarding. I shared a bit about my current project for the Brooks Museum and how cast acrylic has been a beautiful but bossy new material in my practice. There was beer from Savannah River Brewery (shoutout to their IPA for calming my nerves), DJs spinning disco from Eccentric Disco (unexpected and so good), and some really thoughtful questions from folks in the crowd.
It rained on my drive back to Atlanta, with lightning slicing across the sky, but my favorite podcast kept me company. Now I’m back in Memphis, caffeinated and back to work—specifically: fixing those stubborn acrylic toppers. Onward!
