Penland Winter Residency: Distinguished Fellow Folayemi Wilson Perceived Value

In the 74th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is at the Penland School of Craft during their Winter Residency. This episode is part of a special series featuring the Distinguished Fellows of the Penland Winter Residency. As the Andrew Glasgow Resident, Sarah has been awarded two full weeks to conduct interviews and research at Penland during their winter program. Sarah was encouraged to share a portion of her work with Penland’s artist community, thus this special series.
The second Distinguished Fellow to be featured is Folayemi Wilson, an object and image-maker based in Philadelphia, PA. Although Sarah and Folayemi live in the same city, their paths did not cross until the Penland Winter Residency. As the two women began their discussion, Folayemi casually disclosed that she was in the process of fulfilling her dream of owning a building. The two artists discuss the details of Folayemi purchasing her first building, the importance of prioritizing rest as a working artist, and what Folayemi is focused on during her time at the Penland Winter Residency.
