Listen in as Stacy Bogdonoff talks about using verbs as she works on a project, the importance of not putting too much (psychologically) into social media, slowness and control,  living at the intersection of design and art, and why the media & the process – the heart and head of knowing and being known- is her authentic obsession.

Stacy is a mixed media artist who divides her time between her very messy studio in Kent, CT. and her neater tabletop workspace in NYC. Stacy works with textiles, vintage fabric, paper, paint, dyes, and found objects to explore the theme of “Home, Safety, and Shelter”, and how those change as we age and move through life. "My inspiration comes from three directions.  I am deeply drawn to a wide variety of unconventional media, and I love to explore tools and new ways to use them.  I am also equally driven to explore my inner world and understand my feelings."

Takeaways

  1. Understanding the context behind the work enhances the experience.
  2. You don’t always know. You sometimes find out.
  3. Know what you like to do and clear the decks to do it.
  4. The phone works both ways.
