Axle Contemporary’s E Pluribus Unum: Northern New Mexico

Axle Contemporary’s E Pluribus Unum project coming to Northern New Mexico

August 25- October 11, 2022
visit axleart.com for locations and hours

 

Since 2012, Santa Fe’s mobile artspace has been traveling across the state of New Mexico working on a statewide photographic portrait project, E Pluribus Unum. The mobile gallery is outfitted as a mobile black and white photography studio. Visitors bring an object of personal significance and sit for a portrait, holding their special object.

Prints are made immediately using Axle’s solar-powered printer. One copy is given to the participant, another is pasted onto the exterior of the Axle mobile artspace. Over the course of each iteration of the project the exhibition grows to include many hundreds or thousands of portraits. At the close of each project, a book of the portraits and accompanying writing is published and the portraits are exhibited in local museums and artspaces.

Artist Spotlight with Willy Bo Richardson

Interview from the Nüart Gallery Editorial

Q: What does a typical day in the studio look like for you?

A: One of Pablo Picasso’s best known quotes is, “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” I’d like to unpack the word “work” throughout this interview.

I start by collecting information. Some might call it “piddling around”. For example I’ll ask the question, “what is a white wall?” Then I’ll spend the next week testing different hues of white paint and explore lighting on different walls. As I piddle, I  have music playing in the background, and when a good song comes on, I save it in a playlist. This new playlist will become part of the foundation for a new painting series.

This first chapter in my studio practice also includes looking, and playing with ideas around possible supports, materials and scale. I think about new methods and experiments I want to take part in. Inspiration comes in the form of a title and color parameters for the new series.

The next chapter may be what some call “work”. I am no longer gathering information, but processing. I stretch and prime, lay down colored grounds, and begin working with the first value studies. I have a sense of where I want to go, and which colors I will use, but I don’t know how it will unfold.

The final chapter is the most exciting. When the glaze layers are really taking shape, I work in a state of awe and gratitude. I lose track of time, I lose track of myself. Continue reading “Artist Spotlight with Willy Bo Richardson”
