    ep. 029 Artist Exploration/Pablo Picasso

    ep. 029: Artist Exploration/Pablo Picasso Post-Processing with Amy Elizabeth The man who gave us “good artists copy; great artists steal", “art is a lie that makes us realize the truth,” and "learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist" is none other than Pablo Picasso. His artistic philosophy was on point and it led him to shock and offend people time and again in order to pave the way for what would become the new norm of modern art. He had urgency, he had something to say, and he refused to niche down. Come along with us as we talk about his legacy: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Listen in as we wrestle with how to appreciate the artist while not glossing over his amorality. And ultimately leave inspired to use your voice as you follow your own calling of creativity. Amy Elizabeth is an artist and film photographer living in Minneapolis, MN. She runs the group The Art Lab for creatives who want to connect and push forward in their artistry. She is also the owner/operator of Film Lab 135, a bespoke lab dedicated to processing experimental film, and specializing in film soup.

    ep. 028: Artist Exploration/Michael Kenna

    ep. 028: Artist Exploration/Michael Kenna Post-Processing with Amy Elizabeth He might be the greatest landscape photographer of our time, and I can almost guarantee that studying his work will inspire you to pick up your camera. In this episode, Amy clues us into Michael Kenna’s artistic practice, philosophy, and the road that led him to seek out these moments of meditative solitude. Engaging with Michael Kenna’s work brings up so many topics even beyond the image itself, some of which are: photography allows us to capture a truth our eyes normally can’t see, the observer effect reminds us that our mere gaze changes how the world behaves, and without wabi-sabi we’re void of all intrigue. Grab some black and white film and maybe even an nd filter and get ready to learn some things about art, creativity, life and the intersection of it all.

    ep. 027: Month In Review/Voynich Manuscript

    ep. 027: Month In Review/The Voynich Manuscript Post-Processing with Amy Elizabeth Although the florals and recipes of The Voynich Manuscript served as sources of inspiration for Amy’s final project this month, it was ultimately the indecipherability of the text that spoke the most. The fact that it can’t be decoded by modern humanity means it remains pure and lives on in unknown ways. But what about texts we do understand? How does our continual reading and adaptations of these texts affect the original intent? It ultimately begs the question: are we just living in a giant game of telephone?

    ep. 026: Artist Exploration/Bisa Butler

    ep. 026: Artist Exploration/Bisa Butler Post-Processing with Amy Elizabeth We all hit roadblocks in life from time-to-time, where the once-familiar becomes untenable and we recognize that life as we know it is no more. These are the moments in which we often crumble, and although the crumbling might be inevitable, we end up with a choice: we can resign ourselves or we can take the pieces and build something new. Bisa Butler’s “pivot or die” moment occurred when the medium she was trained in became nauseating. She accepted the invitation into the inventive unknown and did something risky and controversial by choosing quilting as her new medium for fine art. A Black woman asserting that domestic labor is a fine art is a bold move, but ultimately a redemptive one. Bisa takes the term “arts and crafts” and reminds us that we often view this phrase as derogatory, but that there is true skill and resonance in the artful crafting of materials. In this episode learn about Bisa’s resilience in the face of roadblocks and criticism, her insistence to follow her intuition, and her work in empowering the next generation.
