A group show, "Why I Make Art," at Miles McErnery Gallery NYC, curated by Brian Alfred. It is based on the interviews conducted on his podcast, "Sound & Vision," conducted between 2010 and 2016.
“There are certain themes that recur for many of the artists I’ve spoken with in my time. For a lot of them, creativity entered their lives early. It often scratches an itch–boredom, loneliness, a desire to connect or entertain, to find validation or a feeling of worth–that children can have difficulty articulating with words. A lot of the time this instinct to create, visually, materially, is only understood in retrospect."--Brian Alfred.
