Title: Making / Giving
Date: September 18th
Time: 1 pm
Location: ONLINE
Featuring: Daggi Wallace, Nurit Avesar, and Janet Milhomme

This talk will consider the parallels between making art and the giving of gifts. Each of the artists in the Perceive Me Exhibition created work as an act of generosity, responding to Kristine Schomaker’s ask for work and celebrating her bravery in giving so deeply of herself.

This artist talk will feature three artists with varying degrees of connection to Studio Channel Islands who gave work into the Perceive Me exhibition. These artists created their work in anticipation that it would be taken and shown in galleries around the state to audiences who would not necessarily be familiar with their work only to find their work returning to them and being presented to an audience who are very familiar with their work.

Daggi Wallace is an artist in residence at Studio Channel Islands, she is an internationally collected and award-winning artists. Nurit Avesar is a former artist in residence, she is a mixed media artist who has presented exhibition in collaboration with several of our other artists in residence. Janet Milhomme has exhibited at the SCIart Gallery on several occasion. The artist will talk about their relationship to the theme of the exhibition, and about the liberation of creating work for a project which would be separated from them.
