Oh! Well, thank you for that, Nell (smile) I had actually met you and Victor before, I don’t remember exactly, but I remember when I was an undergraduate at Mason Gross, seeing you coming down the hall toward the Brodsky Center where you were going to acquire some prints for the Auction and you were so elegant, you were really striking-I didn’t know who you were then, but I was very impressed. I found that in Newark, actually as soon as I graduated because I had a years residency at Aferro. Supposedly in graduate school, the people I was in graduate school with-at The Rhode Island School of Design-we were eight-supposedly they would be my community, we would stay together and I would learn more from them than I would from my teachers, and we’d be a band of brothers and sisters, and we would be together and nourish each other. The importance of Newark’s art community for me-super important-because it really is my main art community. I was delighted that you dedicated your book in part to the Newark Art Community.Ĭan you talk a bit about how we met and the importance of Newark’s art community to your life and work? Your book Old in Art School was recently published. So here we are, Nell, thank you for doing this.
