Sandy Litchfield: The Pastoral & Future Fiction
Episode 2 with Sandy Litchfield, a painter, public artist and Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts Department of Architecture. Sandy has been recognized with numerous grants and commissions for public art. She has exhibited in numerous museums including the Decordova Museum and Sculpture Park, the Fitchburg Art Museum, the Portland Art Museum and the Hunterdon Museum. Her work focuses on landscape as a construct for understanding place and notions of belonging. It’s a conversation about what roots us and the places that give us a sense of belonging, and the ways in which that can inform our work and the trajectory of what we create. It’s also a conversation about creating fictional future places where we want to be, that feel in our control and expressing what we wish for in the landscapes that we inhabit. We cover lots of ground in this conversation. Please enjoy! Subscribe, rate and review us so others can find these conversations too.
