The Lunchbox Interview: Emilie Grace Lavoie (Sculptural Artist)

Posted on 2018-07-20 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Art can be the imagination that tells us the truth about the world by showing it as it isn’t.

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

My guest today is Emilie Grace Lavoie, a sculptural artist working with fabric to create organic, otherworldly creations. She talks about her process and inspiration, transforming bits of cloth and wet plaster into fascinating, unnerving beings that would be unsurprising only far beneath the hidden oceans.

The Lunchbox Interview: Aaron Peters (The Ville)

Posted on 2018-07-19 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

There’s a lot we can do collectively that is hard or impossible to do on our own, especially when we use our hands to get in dirt or pick up a tool rather than manipulate our phones…

My guest today is Aaron Peters, Marketing Coordinator for the summer at the local cooperative umbrella, The Ville. He joins me to catch me up on the great programs they’ve added to the Ville since I last spoke to Jeff Macfarlane when it started. From the gardens to the incubated Mexican restaurant, from edible plant walks to DIY summer programs, the Ville is an exciting, busy, vital place!

The Lunchbox Interview: Dhanishta Ambwani (Mixed Media Artist)

Posted on 2018-07-13 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Art should be a lifelong pursuit for most people — even if it isn’t likely to become a livelihood.

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

My guest today is Dhanishta Ambwani, a young artist working in mixed media at the casemates this week. She joins me to talk about what drives her to create art at a young age, how the theme of “Water” is manifesting in her work this week, and what art means to people of her age.

Sometimes it’s a matter of changing the scale to really see something for the art it is.

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

My guest today is Tracy Austin, who creates miniature clothing as sculptural art. We discuss the meaning behind some of her work, and the interpretation of this year’s challenge theme “Water” as it relates to a celebration of Fredericton.

To view some of Tracy’s miniature clothing art, take a look at her Instagram at tracy_austin_atelier, and to see her doll-related clothing on Tumblr at Steampetal.
