I admit it: I love to talk about my work. And, what’s more, I love hearing what other people have to say about what I do. It’s true!
That’s why I do artist talks, like the one I did today for Apple Pie at the Interstate Firehouse. They may make me feel a little fragile, a little exposed, but everything I learn about myself, my work, and the world around me makes an artist talk worthwhile!
Luis (at left), the subject of This Looks Like A Job For A Chicano!, came to the talk and even took questions--for which he is my hero! Behind Luis is Michelle and her daughter from last year’s series, Swollen.
Here I am pretending to not be nervous!
And, in case someone in the audience wasn’t clear that Liberty (directly behind me) is a self-portrait, I spoke with my hand raised.
Nam, the subject of Chu Xam, also came to see the show this afternoon.
