Welcome to Studio Sessions with our latest guest, Letha Wilson.

She incorporates images from her wilderness photography into sculptural forms, either by folding or cutting and collaging the image, and in recent works creates full forms with an image on the surface. In other instances she creates full sculptures out of drywall reclaimed from scrapped gallery walls. Listen as Letha describes what drives her to…
As part of our continued effort to foster strong communities, we’re rolling out a new interview series, called “Boston Common.” In it we will highlight the people and organizations that shape Boston and New England’s cultural sector by going straight to the source to find out who they are, what they are doing, and how and why they do it.

A friend pointed out that a career takes a lifetime to take its unique shape, which is longer than I can conceive of. It’s defined he said not by who is tipping their hat to you at any given time, but the quality of the time you spend alone, caring for and nurturing what you yourself love the most about what you do. (1. PATIENCE). Agnes Martin is one of my heroes. She stopped making art for seven years right in the middle of her career, moving from the thick of things…

By John Pyper December 31, 2013 To ask an editor to go back through the blur that was the last year? To ask them to renavigate the rough seas of putting together this labor of love? It’s immoral. How does one separate the writing, the show, and the experiences we had as editors with the writers? It’s impossibly subjective, but it was also much easier than I thought it would be to do. I’ve tried to keep as objective as possible, selecting a few well written pieces that considered some of this…
I tend to generate stacks of things – papers, books, wooden blocks, foam bits. I like to keep moving, otherwise I can get stuck. Generating a critical mass of something keeps me from making any one thing too important. Developing such a series allows me to focus on what I’m doing rather than what ‘thing’ I’m making. So the ‘thing’ is secondary to the activity and my attentiveness to that activity. ‘Draw Through It’ is an ongoing, lifelong project, begun in about 1998. It’s a growing sculptural piece of bundled drawings. They…
