In sculpture, art, fabrics, and furnishings, a material’s look, feel, and durability are of the utmost importance. How does a powerful material inspire the artist’s creation and help it withstand the test of time? How does an artist/product designer select materials used for each piece and is the process different for everyone? Has their decision been impacted by the pandemic, for example, trying a new material because they did not have access to the material they would normally choose?

Join our esteemed panelists for a discussion on how materials inform their work. Moderator: Josh Cooperman, Host of Convo by Design Panelists: Sue Firestone, SFA Design Mario Romano, M.R. Walls Nicole Landau, Multimedia Artist Sandra Vlock, Studio Vlock
