471: Maura Wright on her portrayal of beauty rituals in Midwest Sweat

Written By Ben Carter

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Maura Wright. Her recent exhibition Midwest Sweat at the Jane Hartsook Gallery in NYC, takes a humorous and critical look at feminine self-care products and rituals. In our interview we talk about working in many aesthetic directions at the same time and blending gallery work with studio pursuits. Wright is a current long-term resident at the Archie Bray Foundation. To see examples of her work visit maura-wright.com. To listen to this episode click here.
