The September Artist Salon session features exhibiting artist Vanessa Brown who will discuss her work in the fields of sculpture, video and installation. She looks at how the trajectory of her practice has come to encompass different media over time, from metal to video to collage. She also discusses how living both here and abroad has affected her work, how access to facilities dictates what is possible in terms of production, and lastly the role artists can play for each other in terms of collaboration, opportunity and exchange.
This edition of the Artist Salon was an online live-streamed event with Q&A from online participants.
Hosted by Kathy Tycholis, RAG Education & Public Programs Coordinator.
