Changes in Seeing, Changes in Knowing, Changes in Making

Elizabeth Kronfield, Mary Bates Neubauer, Ryan Lamfers, Ashley Hope Carlisle

This panel seeks to understand how artists evlove their conceptual practice through repetition. of(or despite the repetition of) process. How do artists continue to change ideas when things such as mold-making, charging, patinas, or other technical aspects of making are no longer "new". We all find inspiration in learning, so how does this learning shift when the technical becomes the ordinary, "surprises" or "happy mistakes" no longer occur due to mastery or even familiarity of materials. and processes. Panelists will be asked to share their insights on their continuance of a practice long after the thrill of the new is gone and the literal fire is extinguished.
