Ep 39: "Soft Play" w/ Olivia Baldwin, Melissa Dadourian, Sidney Mullis & Kelsey Tynik

Pep Talks for Artists

Join me this week as I speak to 4 artists working in mixed media and textiles (Olivia Baldwin, Melissa Dadourian, Sidney Mullis and Kelsey Tynik) about their show at Collar Works in Troy, NY called "Soft Play." We spoke about the works in the show, textiles in art, craft and fine art and the intermingling of the two, and the legacy of our mothers and grandmothers passed down through sewing. Also! Tune in for a Bonus 4-way Glue Talk. And double bonus: I couldn't resist asking Kelsey about her legendary possum-cam at her apartment in Brooklyn featuring Walter, the possum.
