Sadie Barnette discusses her piece “Photo Bar” in the exhibition “Don't Forget to Call Your Mother”

“I make art because it’s just my way of moving through the world. It’s often an experiment...that room for doubt, when language falls off and all you’re left with is images and abstraction or a glittering field-that’s the place where I am hanging out and where I’m committed to continuing these experiments.”

My dad was an artist that had a bar in Austin in the 80's, it was a place for artists to laugh and be a family. I totally get this ❤

Really real Art. You do reality non fluxed. Art. I grew up in the 80’s too. What I like is the practical applications of previously considered periods… so I do 8x11.5 copy paper drawings. That’s not sarcasm because i incorporate abstract shapes with an emphasis on the human form to achieve a contrasted gargoyle in edit.
I keep it simple just by focusing on gargoyles and Archipenko.
