Figure Isms with Grant Trimble features interviews with creatives who utilize nudity in their work. The purpose of this is to try and add context, to this historically contentious endeavor, by understanding the journey and decisions of those traveling this path today.
I talk with The Inertia Creeps about being raised by her immigrant mother and grandparents, physics, how she has come to love modeling, her photography, and more.
I talk with Lobbiaz about the existence of God, trolling, the lingerie concept store Les Rituelles he runs with his wife, his photography, how money changes relationships and more.
I talk with Johanna Stickland about the intimate and feminine nature of her photography and paintings, her badass mom, the freedom nude modeling gave her, and how she ended up living in Portugal.
In this episode I talk with Portland based painter and printmaker Dan Gluibizzi about his process, themes, growing up in Lancaster, PA, and much more.
I'm able to have a follow up interview with Ingvild (aka Ine). We talk more in-depth about the turning points and reasons she started modeling as well as the reasons she continues doing it.
My guest for episode five is Shona McAndrew. I'm able to talk with her about her sculptures, paintings, the difficulty of being other bodied, wanting to talk to all women, the joy of sexuality, and much more.
My guest for episode three of Figure Isms is Ingvild. As we discuss her journey of being a nude art model, we touch on a range of topics that include her role in the movie business, her diorama work, getting over shame, being in a supportive relationship, and more.
My guest for episode two of Figure Isms is María. In this episode I talk to her about her struggles as a nude art model, her perspectives as an artist, motherhood, feminism, her life in Ecuador and Germany and much more.
I talk to Roarie Yum about her journey to becoming a freelance art model who uses nudity, her perspectives and choices along this path, and why she considers herself an "art facilitator".
