TALK’s Season 1 Finale comes to a close with artist, Lina Sun Park.
On this episode Dana and Lina sit down to TALK about how Lina has stayed busy with her ephemeral creations throughout the pandemic.
Based in Brooklyn, Lina, who used to make paintings and interactive installations found herself on more of a craft trajectory during the COVID-19 quarantine. She began taking her everyday surroundings - things like fabric and food and using them to create art. She enjoys that her creations are ephemeral -- that they don't last, specifically she loves that art pieces can be fleeting, which is a quality she finds to be especially beautiful. An added benefit to Lina’s creations is that because they are so carefully crafted with fabrics and materials she usually already has lying around is that they don’t contribute to even more waste.
Dana and Lina discuss what the future of art might look like, the benefits and downsides of social media, how she tends to find inspiration for her art pieces from poetry, movies and music as well as what her creative process is like when she gets started on a project. She also shares her grad school experience which we found super interesting.
Why TALK loves Lina -- We love that Lina’s work spans across so many different mediums and she’s found new ways to stay inspired and create art using just everyday items in her home,
We also love that she’s so thoughtful when working on her projects and enjoys creating pieces that don’t contribute added waste to the world. We look forward to seeing all her ephemeral creations and whatever else she may later have up her sleeve.
