Using Her Superpower and Biomaterials with Kelly M O'Brien (ep. 196)

What do we do about all of the art materials that are harming you and the planet? Kelly O'Brien has taken this concern to heart and completely changed how she makes work.

She grows and uses biomaterials for her sculpture.

Host Alyson Stanfield talks with Kelly about:

🔸 What biomaterials are and how they show up in Kelly's new work.

🔸 The aesthetics of biomaterials.

🔸 Why Kelly isn't concerned about the work lasting forever.

🔸 What you can do to incorporate more sustainable sources in your work.

Kelly also discusses her recent solo exhibition and why community interaction is a key piece of her process, and how she funds her non-commercial practice.

[ For some background, listen to this interview with Kelly: Returning to Grad School for an MFA — episode 85. ]
