33 - Alice Stone-Collins Peachy Keen

    • Arts

Peachy Keen masked-up and joined artist Alice Stone-Collins in her home studio in Atlanta, GA, for our first (and so far, only) pandemic interview. She contemplates the lasting impact that her rural Madison County upbringing has had on her work, which utilizes a combination of painting and collage techniques to depict a slightly askew, surreal version of the everyday mundane.

We commiserate about pandemic life and motherhood as two working artist parents and get the low down on how the COVID-19 pandemic has and hasn’t affected the content of some of her most recent works. Stone-Collins explains how seemingly random or disjointed scenes such as carousel horses in a roundabout or a beach overrun with Amazon vans relate to her everyday experiences. She also talks about how My Little Pony “blank flanks” and “cutie marks” can sadly be seen as a metaphor for our society at large.
