This week, we had Peter Hanley come and talk. He works mainly as a graphic artist, but also collaborates with other artists on mixed media pieces. Neat guy, with a neat mohawk. Smart, too. He had an insightful opinion on the studio, what it means, and how it functions for the artist. I liked his idea of the studio being the artist's mind and the computer being a "desk in that space". I think that makes sense. Artists take the studio wherever they go, with initial planning and inspiration always taking place in the mind. He also said that "collaboration makes up the space". Working with others manifests a working environment.Hanley's presentation was very conceptual, but very well done. Not to mention nice graphics.
