Art Talks Anderson Ranch Arts Center

This week we sat down with Del Harrow to talk about his upcoming workshop Digitally Fabricated Molds here at Anderson Ranch

As ceramic artists, the technology we use is a language. Our ideas and creative voices are expressed through tools, techniques and materials, which are both consistent and also continually evolving. In this workshop, we explore the theoretical context, practical applications, and poetic potential of digital technology integration into the languages of ceramic form.

In this interview we spoke to artist Emilio Perez while he was expanding from painting to ceramic sculpture while at Anderson Ranch. We learned about the current state of his work, as well as his upcoming exhibitions and plans, many of which involve returning to Cuba, the country of his families origin, where he will be completing an installation as part of the Havana Biennial.

In this episode we feature visiting artist Katie Stout and her journey into making large scale figurative ceramic lamps. Based on images of the past, Katie creates lamps for the home that challenge past depictions of women in furniture. She spoke to us about the process of making these creations, as well as what lies in the future for her work after visiting the ranch!
