Included in the September-Fall Issue of, Anti-Heroin Chic, artist PD Packard talks us through her life's work, and the multifaceted experiences she strives to create, reminding us that "the most sacred aspect of art is the artist’s hand upon their work".
Intro from the interview:
For this exhibition, Abington Art Center is taking inspiration from our Little Abington Meeting House, located by the corner of Alverthorpe Park. Silence is a key characteristic of the Quaker religion: in that silence, to reflect. Reflection is also a physical characteristic, a surface effect – a bending back that encompasses the physical or metaphysical and may include an ethical call.
We're happy to anounce that Philadelphia painter Keith Breitfeller has launched his portfolio with Heavy Bubble. His abstract paintings are meditative and atmospheric.
We're excited to launch the portfolio website for artist Kevin Broad. We hope you'll visit his site and spend some time looking at his body of work. He has recently returned for a Residency in Iceland.
