An Artist’s Tools + Studio as Creative Identity
Throughout my curatorial career, I’ve visited countless artists in their studios to conduct interviews and critiques. Each experience helped me develop useful perspectives on an artist’s creative and technical process. Over time, I came to appreciate the value that lay in preserving these unique creative journeys. When tools to suit a desired outcome didn’t exist, artists frequently customized items they had purchased or inherited. Some even fabricated their own or even invented new machinery.
