Listen "155. Alex Anderson"
Episode Synopsis
Alex Anderson lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Anderson uses the delicate medium of ceramics as his main vehicle to explore the sublime experiences that make up both the man-made and natural worlds, as well as deeper, more complicated issues of race and cultural representation. His artworks combine a dexterity in the medium with a confluence of baroque imagery and compositions, Japanese pop art references, and current contemporary fashion and design trends in order to probe the depths of reality, illusion and identity.He and Zuckerman discuss his relationship to ceramics, reflectivity and sparkle, what it means to be alive in the present moment, the metaphysical aspects of light, empathy, history and research, personal motivation,perfection, beauty desire, and the human condition!
