Given how warm this winter has been, we'll have to settle for as best a substitute as we can find for the missing winter weather and talk with artist with the name of Snow instead.
Kirk Snow earned a BA in Art History from the University of Rhode Island in 2002, a BA in printmaking in 2003, also from the University of Rhode Island, and is a 2011 MFA graduate from the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. Kirk uses performative and sculptural methods to explore ideas stemming from a construction theme. Often his focus lies on the topic of investigating a flimsy veneer that masks a cheap, unimpressive structure beneath.
Listen as he explains what he finds conceptually attractive about modern construction methods and how he creates pieces within this topic.
