Ahtcast revisits the work of artist, Lorri Ott, in this episode. Lorri Ott and I originally spoke in February of 2012 and I thought it would be interesting to see what she has been up to in her studio as of late. We also talk about past work and how it has changed as well as how the work has, in a sense, come full circle. Thanks for listening.

T J Donovan, a South Dakota native finishing his studies in Chicago,
discusses his work and philosophies on art making. Donovan likes to
preserve a space for abstract making and direct address in his work. He
believes that working through a creative block is important, and feels
that action will automatically "yield to something different." Listen in
as he also describes his experience on playing with the work in
different contexts, and how that it may or may not change how the work
is received, both for him and the viewer. (some strong language)
