Episode 29! This week we are interviewing the Western-Mass based artist, Ashley Eliza Williams. Ashley is an incredible artist born in the Blue Ridge Mountains in SW Virginia, and making work about interspecies communication and non-human language. Ashley has exhibited widely including at Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver (CO), Hersbruck Museum (Germany), The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder (CO), Bronx Museum Project Space (NY), The New York Hall of Science (NY), and Wasserman Projects in Detroit (MI). Ashley’s work has been featured in many publications including New American Paintings, Hyperallergic, and The Washington Post. Recent residencies include: Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, Vermont Studio Center, Shoals Marine Laboratory, The Studios at Mass MoCA, and Shangyuan Art Museum, China. In 2023 Ashley was a Lucille Walton Fellow and resident artist at the University of Virginia Mountain Lake Biological Station. This is a great conversation filled with bird song out the window as we talk about communication attempts, creating imaginary worlds, shifts in perspective scales, the impoverishment of imagination from the ongoing extinction of beings, night walks and so much more. Please give Ashley a follow on instagram. Go check out her website and stay tuned for their next upcoming shows and projects.

Episode 28 with Boston-based artist Adam O’Day. Adam paints across genres and scales up to building sized murals all across the region! He shows his work widely and in 2014 his painting was chosen for the “portrait of a city” competition in Boston! We recorded this episode from his studio in an old shoe factory in Abington, Massachusetts, and we cover its potential haunting, his move from naval engineer to full time artist, the role of collaboration, where his interest in shanty vernacular comes from as well as talk about the relationship between his painting and music. We talk about Metal Aesthetic, the weird and inclusive family of metal heads and his band MOLLUSK… a doom/sludge metal band. We reminisce about both spending our formative years growing up in Michigan and local midwestern nostalgia as well as the practice of what it takes to turn a representational view into a real place and a finished painting. Loved this conversation and can’t wait for you to hear! As always, please go give Adam O’Day a follow on Instagram, find out when his next concert will be and check out the show notes for a ton of links.
