29 - Naomi Falk—Thinking in motion and embracing the uncomfortable / November 11, 2019 by Vivian Liddell

Naomi Falk on working with indigo dye:

I moved to South Carolina and I found out that it was historically a place where Indigo had been cultivated. And so... and that there were people doing it and that there was an indigo plant that was native to South Carolina —or something similar like that—along the coast and had been found again. Like they thought that it was no longer in existence and now it's still here and so they're cultivating it on a small scale again. But there's a long history of textile industry and … indigo production in the region, and so I thought that I would start, you know, learning more about that.

23 - Katie Hargrave & Meredith Lynn—Driving Ideas on Public Space and the American Landscape / March 25, 2019 by Vivian Liddell

Meredith Lynn on collaboration:

Actually something that I really appreciate about working with Katie is that—seeing her work through ideas and problems in her own work and knowing that when she calls me and says “I think that you need to reexamine this idea”—knowing that she is also pushing herself through those same challenging and difficult conversations in her own work and then knowing that I can be open and vulnerable to those criticisms that she’s bringing to me because I know that she’s also bringing that to her own work. I think that’s something that we all need to strive for… is to be willing to have your mind changed. Not about everything certainly— I think we have to have certain ethics and ideas that we hold fast to—but being willing to put up any of your ideas to scrutiny, I think is really important.

Candice Greathouse on her photography:

And thinking about family archives and sentimentality and nostalgia and domesticity— and how those are so intertwined with like the female experience either as a positive or problematic depending on who’s saying it and how they’re describing it...
