Serious Talk. Seriously. -Interview time

Serious Talk. Seriously. recently interviewed me and the podcast is live! We cover a lot of territory in our conversation ---how living in Baltimore is like The Wire, non-traditional photography, my recent drugstore project, and Sac Open Studios which starts this week! ‪

So plug in your ear buds and drown out your co-workers with a little art talk.

Johnny has interviewed a lot of other creative folks, too so check out those podcasts here.

That's Johnny in the photo, working his sound magic right after the interview. And yes, that microphone loomed large during the interview.  The drawing that he mentions buying on the spot because he liked it so much, is hanging behind him.

Okay, go give it a listen.

caffenol

I learned how to do caffenol film development recently. There is a nice graininess and it's great to be able to develop with caffeine and vitamin c --- chemicals that are much less harsh than typical and great for home use.

This empty party room in a old industrial sugar mill with its string of lights makes for a festive setting among the shop worn walls and warehouse windows.

Kate’s Bioluminescent Photograms in SF This Weekend

My new bioluminescent photograms will be shown this weekend as part of ArtSpan’s San Francisco Open Studios event! These prints are from my Hacking Photographic Memory series and many have not been shown publicly before.

I’ll be there along with eleven other amazingly talented artists. Come by and say hello!

Saturday, 11/2 & Sunday, 11/3

11am-6pm

SHARED
739 Bryant Street (between 5th & 6th Streets)
San Francisco, CA 94107

Lots of studios will be open so it’s easy to make a day of it. Here’s a link to the map and artists’ listings.

Pick up a Guide at my studio location and plan your tour around town. Or you can download the SF Open Studios App here.

I’ll be there to talk about my process and you can ask me in person why I use glowing fungus to make images.

If you know of other people that enjoy looking at art, please forward this invite to them.

Hope to see you soon if not this weekend!

Cheers,
Kate
