CURIOSITIES: THE BLOG

My Interview With Artist Tim Guthrie Now on Rumpus

July 1, 2010

Tags: random curiosities, creative process, art

I'm chatting with award-winning artist Tim Guthrie, over at Stephen Elliot's website, The Rumpus.net, as part of the new Mini-Interview Project. Check it out!

Tim does such a range of work, from subersive political installations to traditional Old Master style paintings, I could do ten interviews with him and not scratch the surface. I've mentioned his work before here.
