Being an artist can be a lonely endeavor. We’re often toiling away alone in the studio for hours, even days at a time! And while we usually need that solitary time to work out our thoughts and feelings into compositions, it can be isolating. We long for an exchange of ideas. Santa Fe artist Stephanie Clark teamed up with fellow artist Genevieve Robertson for a long distance, collaborative project appropriately titled, Call and Response.
In this artistic game of Marco Polo, one of the two artist creates an image, then sends it to the other artist, who creates her own “response”. What I find fascinating is how the two artists are challenged with creating a unique, yet complimentary response to the original call. Some responses repeat colors or patterns, while others hardly reference the call at all yet they still create a harmonious finished composition.
To see more from the Call and Response series and more of Stephanie Clark’s work, please visit her website. In related news, Stephanie will soon be a contributor to the Artsy Abroad series! Be on the lookout soon for her first post in which she’ll share all about her experience at the Gibraltar Point Residency!
