Art isn’t created in a vacuum, and Art Referential justifies this. Art Referential doesn’t just highlight an artist’s work; it also highlights the rich resources the artist is pulling from.
The second installment of Art Referential highlighted DAAP School of Design Professor, Catherine Richards. We asked Catherine three questions, and these were her answers:
What idea’s are you currently considering/pursuing?
More public sculpture and international art/ design exhibitions that use all mediums to explore space and environment. From sound and video to materials and form.
Who are your favorite artists and why?
Louis Bourgoise, Federico Fellini, Jean Cocteau, Sophia Coppola and Grimes. They all experimented/ experiment with emotion and medium in a poetic way that relates to my work.
What books, blogs, magazines, etc., do you reference the most and why?
Sexuality and Space and The poetics of Space, Vogue Italia, Domus and so many other books and magazines I don’t remember the name of. From small art books to novels.
