Please enjoy my conversation with Amy Orr. Amy is a multimedia artist whose work often involves the reinvention of manufactured materials; plastic and plastic cards in particular. The understanding and perception of plastic and ephemera is changing quickly. Where Amy’s work was once a lighthearted narrative about consumerism and culture, it is now overshadowed by the environmental disaster that our single-use practice has caused.Amy is drawn to materials for their color, abundance and original intent. Whether constructing a patterned composition or figurative mosaic, the plastic fragments become a sparkling wasteland of personal histories and common stories. With a background in textiles, Amy’s work can be understood with references to the crazy quilt, in which fabric scraps are pieced together to create a whole cloth that is greater than the sum of its parts.Previously a tenured professor, administrator, designer, and art publication editor, Amy Orr is now a studio and street artist.https://www.amyorr.net/ https://www.inliquid.org/artist/orr-amy https://www.instagram.com/amyorrwhat/?hl=enhttps://www.saqa.com/https://metrophiladelphia.com/snyderman-works-galleries-to-close-after-52-years/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_presshttps://plaidonline.com/mod-podgeChurch of the Heavenly Rest exhibit https://pdflink.to/cc3a3579/ This podcast was created by Natalya Khorover.
