CRAFT IN AMERICA “Storytellers,” highlights artists who use narrative to communicate personal and universal truths, creating a uniquely powerful expression of our human experience.
FEATURED ARTISTS:
We begin in Alaska, where we meet one of our nation’s most important multidisciplinary artists, Nicholas Galanin. Galanin creates works layered in meaning and visual language.
Descended from a family of Native Alaskan Tlingit and Unangan artists, he challenges the displacement of indigenous art and cultural disruption, offering perspective rooted in connection to land while investigating and expanding intersections of culture and concept in form, image and sound.
Then we explore the Art to Wear movement with gallerist and craft historian Julie Schafler Dale.
Dale walks us through the Philadelphia Museum of Art exhibition “Off the Wall: American Art to Wear” and introduces textile artist Linda J. Mendelson, who draws inspiration from poetry and pushes the boundaries of wearable art.
The episode also features Seattle-based sculptor George Rodriguez, who makes oversized ceramic figures that are both personal and universally resonant. Rodriguez’s sculptures are human expressions, influenced by mythology, global civilizations, a spirit of play, and his Chicano heritage.
Lastly, “Storytellers” highlights artist Christina Bothwell. Through her unique approach to glass, Bothwell explores her interest in birth, death, and renewal, while imbuing her work with a sense of wonder and hope.
We record her technique, which involves sculpting in wax and casting in plaster, creating a space for a figure within a figure - a process never before documented by CRAFT IN AMERICA.
The stories these artists tell us through their creations bring us together in ways that defy cultural boundaries and offer new ways of understanding even the most complex mysteries of our existence.
