Stacy Lynn Waddell & Sarah Higgins in Conversation

Join us on the @artpapers Instagram for a live conversation between Spring 2021, “Mimicry, Camouflage, Transformation” contributor Stacy Lynn Waddell and ART PAPERS editor + artistic director Sarah Higgins.

They’ll discuss Waddell’s artist project from Spring 2021; her process of gold leaf, burning, and branding; research on the Hudson River School; and the social and political histories embedded in American artistic traditions of the landscape.

This conversation is part of a series of virtual talks to expand the discourse around our themes and promote dialogue between writers with overlapping interests/knowledge.
