Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Featured: Brandon Luu @bluubasaur in upcoming Issue 14.4 “Profiles” Order issue and attend Pick-Up Party Sept 1st as NUMU Gallery https://bit.ly/144fall22 Born and raised in San Jose, Brandon is quickly becoming the voice of our future. By day he teaches middle school, and in his spare time he serves on the board of directors for Poetry Center San Jose. Poetry is something Brandon has felt strongly about for some time, noting that it's an opportunity to bring people together, regardless of age or circumstance. “It's a form of expression that sets itself apart as a hybrid between language and feeling. People often ask, ‘Do you have to understand a poem totally for it to leave you with a feeling?' I've learned that however you come to understand that feeling, it's valid.” As a Creative Ambassador, Brandon will produce a creative expression project focused on community poetry. The project's core is based on the creation of a collaborative art piece titled We Are San Jose. The piece will feature work by local Asian artists and poets. Brandon will host a social media campaign to collect art, photos, and videos that showcase different parts of San Jose. ⁠ @bluubasaur (https://instagram.com/bluubasaur) @weartsanjose (https://instagram.com/weartsanjose) #WeArtSanJose Issue 14.4 Features: Brighton Denevan @brightondenevan Cade Cowell @cc4_official @Chineseperformingartsofamerica Creative Ambassadors @sjculture Amy Hibbs @instahibbs Brandon Luu @weartsanjose Dana Harris Seeger @danaharrisseeger Eric Hayslett @the_drive_thruu Ricardo Cortez @tijuanarickart and Stephanie Barajas @stephroars Kathy Aoki @kathy_aoki_artist Jay Gatsby @jaayy_gatsby Joane Orbon @ubakc.sanjose Mary Jessie Celestin @mary_celestin @sanjose_strong ____ Written by @blacksheepmade Photography by @thecultivator #ContentMag #SouthBay #408Creates #art #WeLovePrint https://youtu.be/vhW5d_5znMY --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/content-magazine/support

"I never, ever did anything unless it was me, sounded like me, looked like me..." -Ursula Rucker Chatting with the incomparable @urucker about her work, life, and working together at UW-Madison. Ursula Rucker is an interdisciplinary poet, performer, and recording artist whose work reflects on personal history, family, and place. She characterizes her work as situated “along the edge of the terrains of poetry.” Rucker has released five albums and collaborated with a wide range of artists outside of the field of poetry, including The Roots, musicians and Pew Fellows Jamaaladeen Tacuma and King Britt, and, most recently, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Clarence Williams III. She has toured with her live performance memoir, My Father's Daughter, which she describes as “90 minutes of self-truth and discovery.” In 2017, she collaborated with Nigerian sound and installation artist Emeka Ogboh to create Logan Squared: Ode to Philly, which featured an epic poem by Rucker that reflected Philadelphians' voices and visions for the city. The work was presented as part of Mural Arts Philadelphia's Center-supported, citywide Monument Lab exhibition. A Philly 360 Creative Ambassador and recipient of Leeway Foundation's Transformation Award, Rucker is the subject of the 2008 documentary Ursula Rucker: Poet, directed by Michael J.

In this panel discussion, we'll discuss poetry and its many forms. Our panelists will share poems and poets they've been reading of late, as well as sharing some of their own work with us and discussing their approach to writing right now, whether revisiting works in progress or starting something new. Usha Akella has authored four books of poetry, one chapbook, and scripted/produced one musical drama. She recently earned an MSt. in Creative Writing from Cambridge University, UK. Her latest poetry book, The Waiting was published by Sahitya Akademi, India’s highest Literary authority in 2019 followed by the Mantis Editores, Mexico edition in Spanish translated by Elsa Cross.

She is also the founder of the Poetry Caravan in New York and Austin which takes poetry readings to the disadvantaged in women’s shelters, senior homes, and hospitals. Several hundreds of readings have reached these venues via this medium. The City of Austin proclaimed January 7th as Poetry Caravan Day.

She has been invited as a keynote speaker to TLAN’s Power of Words conference 2019 and the Turkish Center in Austin.

She's currently working on two new titles in her haiku series, Hill Country Haiku and Haiku 'Hooville, a tribute to Charlottesville, Virginia, where she earned a B.A. in English at UVA. In 2003, Carlotta won the O. Henry Pun Off World Championship, much to the delight or chagrin of her two daughters. She is also a fervent Instagrammer -- follow her at @HaikuAustin and @lottapalooza.

"I have a huge interest in empathy and compassion and humanizing people. That’s been a big part of my work and my life." Annalise Gratovich is a Texas printmaker who uses a lot of different tools and a supportive community to create small to sometimes very large prints. She can often be found carving carefully and meditatively out of wood, scribing into metal, or hand dying paper, the goal being to breathe life into the various beings, objects, and plants that inhabit the totemic and endearing world she has created. A world inspired by her family heritage and a desire to engender empathy and wonder. Everything is revealed when the paper is pulled from the intricately crafted and inked matrix. All of the hard work culminates in a print that will live on the walls of art lovers and collectors who appreciate the care and compassion that comes through in her work. She also travels to many other print shops as a guest artist and lecturer, is on the board of directors for Print Austin, and works the Blanton Museum of Art. Annalise Gratovich – Through the Dusk, a Light Recspec Gallery (https://recspec-gallery.com/) 4825 Weidemar Lane #700, Austin, Texas 78745 (map) (Facebook Event) (https://www.facebook.com/events/861446307640715/?active_tab=discussion) Opening Reception Saturday, January 25th – 5-9pm On view through March 7th and for PrintAustin Works on paper about the places for which the heart yearns by printmaker and artist Annalise Gratovich. https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/M-tsJ8L_.JPG https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/fLXgE9lm.jpg About text courtesy of Annalise's website Annalise creates her finely crafted prints by hand from start to finish, carving wood, etching metal, dyeing paper, and using manual printing presses to create multiple originals. Each piece is printed on the finest archival papers using oil based inks and hand dyed papers she produces in her studio. Annalise operates as a self publisher out of Austin, Texas and travels frequently across the country as a visiting artist and speaker and to publish prints with highly esteemed print shops. Annalise begins each of her pieces with a drawing and a love for technical and artistic experimentation. She meticulously carves wood blocks with hand tools or carefully scribes into wax on the surface of a copper plate that is then dipped into an acid bath. Once these matrices are complete, sometimes after months of carving or a dozen dips in the acid bath, she begins her color development. Starting from color swatches she dips and tests in her studio, she dyes in bulk sheets of thin yet strong mulberry paper in a wide variety of colors and patterns. These sheets of dyed paper are then carefully cut out and applied to the wet ink on each woodcut or etching during the printing process, at which time the ink, papers, and pressure all combine to create the prints you see here. Annalise Gratovich was awarded the title of Creative Ambassador of Visual Arts in 2019 by the City of Austin and exhibits extensively nationally and internationally, most recently in Buggenhagen, Germany, New York, NY, Dawson City, Youkon, San Antonio, TX and Austin, TX. She was most recently a guest artist and lecturer at Egress Press, Edinboro University, Pennsylvania, and a guest artist and juror at New Leaf Editions in Vancouver, B.C. Her most recent publications were produced by Mixed Grit in Denver, Colorado, at Egress Press in Pennsylvania, Evil Prints in St. Louis, Missouri, and Cannonball Press, Brooklyn, New York. She has work in numerous private and public collections, the most recent acquisition going to the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. She is a member of the Board of Directors of PrintAustin, a month-long, city-wide printmaking event for which she has helped organize exhibitions and special events, curate the PrintAustin Invitational, and has participated in artist and curator talks, and panel discussions. Annalise’s ongoing and largest series to date, Carrying Things From Home, is comprised of eight 3x5.5 foot hand-dyed chine collé woodcuts. https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/f4zzPFmP.jpg Annalise at the 2018 PrintAustin Expo PRINTAUSTIN (https://printaustin.org/) January 15th - February 15th, 2020 PrintAustin’s mission to the Austin art community and galleries is to share our enthusiasm for printmaking by helping galleries curate, exhibit, and promote works on paper and to engage a wider audience through in-house artist talks, signings, panels, printmaking demonstrations, and print-focused art happenings. With several professional print shops, nationally recognized university printmaking programs, internationally acclaimed print collections, and a thriving printmaking community, Austin is a hub for printmaking in Texas. The PrintAustin team is working with organizations and individuals throughout the Austin visual arts community to showcase fine art prints during this annual event, January 15-February 15.

This week, I’m delighted to welcome my very first overseas guest– leading Australian hair manipulator Shaun McGrath Wiggery– to learn about the epic wig work that he creates using recyclable waste. Quite simply, Shaun creates jaw-dropping avant-garde innovations. He blurs the line between hairdressing, instillation and sculptural, and is making a stir in the worlds of fashion, art, and of course, hair. The growing focus for Shaun is in sustainable hair work, taking recycled waste from the salon floor to aid him with making future hair pieces. In this episode, I ask Shaun about his career move going from London to Sydney, understanding more on his creative thought process, and his Creative Ambassador role for Sustainable Salons Australia. You’ll also learn about the pioneering programme where he’s helping towards the collection of huge amounts of hair in the preparation of any potential oil spils in the Barrier Reeth, Australia. Join me as I get inside the head of this free thinking, quirky and creative expressionist – you’ll love what he has to say. Thanks for Listening! Have some feedback you’d like to share?

Joining me in this episode is Eugene Souleiman, the trend-setting hair stylist responsible for the looks at major fashion shows including Yohji Yamamoto, DKNY, Chloe and Pucci, whose work is frequently featured in Vogue, W, i-D Magazine, Dazed & Confused and Harper's Bazaar. To say he is accomplished is an understatement...Eugene joined me for a chat during a busy day at the Wella Institute in Central London where, among other things, he was launching the new Oil Reflections range (launching in July) to press in his role as Creative Ambassador. I stole an hour with him over a sushi lunch and before a dash to Nike Town to pick up some new runners. We had a giggle, we geeked out over comic books and I want to live in his head - although truthfully I think it'd blow my mind...You can also download The Beauty Podcast with Emma G on iTunes and Soundcloud.Links from this episode include:Instagram - Eugene Souleiman Wella Creative AmbassadorEugene Souleiman Portfolio You can get in touch with me via my website Emma Gunavardhana, where you can also sign up for the show's newsletter or on social media; Twitter @EmmaG_Beauty and Instagram where I'm @emmaguns Permalink See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
