SEE(d) is so happy to be back after two years of COVID-hiatus! We missed sharing deep conversations about artistic practice.
To celebrate, we offer a visual and oratory reminder of how artists think and dig deeply into their artistic processes and output, providing thoughtful, unexpected ways of seeing their world and methods of sharing that world through their artistic process.
SEE(d) visited artist Ilana Crispi in her delightful, Half Moon Bay studio long before COVID. Patrons were indulged with story-telling of the rich history of Crispi’s work, her generous spirit, and exquisite works of art made from soil dug in this case, from San Francisco neighborhoods where the artist lives and works. Crispi’s soil projects ask us to ponder the meaning of value in the context of material creations, history of a place, and the changing faces of the people who inhabit the city and who lived on this land long before the city existed.

We hope you enjoy the video and join us for SEE(d)’s inspiring artist studio visits in 2022.
