452: Kurt Anderson on the humor in his art and Rebecca Harvey on the Archie Bray residency
Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Kurt Anderson. His ceramics and paintings feature compositions of robots, animals, and human hybrids that are visually playful and filled with humor. In our interview we talk about color dynamics and trusting your aesthetic voice. To see examples of his work, visit @kurtandersonpottery on Instagram. To start the episode I talk with Rebecca Harvey, the new director of the Archie Bray Foundation, about the residency program at the Bray. The deadline for this year’s residency applications is February 15th. To find out more visit www.archiebray.org/residencies.
