After being on hiatus for a bit, I am back this week with a brand new guest: San Francisco-based artist, Marcela Pardo Ariza, whose recent show at R/SF Projects titled Slow Clap was featured in Photograph Magazine.  Today you’ll hear her talk about her upbringing in Colombia, the time she spent at an international boarding school in Costa Rica, and how she got to attend Earlham College in Indiana. She also discusses her current art practice and her growth as a photographer.

Her show, Slow Clap will be on display at R/SF Projects til October 8, 2017. Visit rsfprojects.com to get more info about the show and the closing reception that evening.

To learn more about about Marcela visit her website at www.marcelapardo.com and follow her on Instagram at @marcelapardoa.

Lastly, thanks again to Richie Cunning for the music.

This week’s guest is Tamra Seal, a Bay Area artist who makes large, bright and beautifully constructed sculptures. Louis got a chance to hang out with her in her Oakland studio where they chatted not only about her background as an artist but also about her love for film and how it influences her work. If you are interested in seeing some of her work visit her website tamraseal.com or see it in person in the After Pop Life show at the Minnesota Street Project in San Francisco.
