Joey Veltkamp: Studio Visit
On saturday in late October 2009, Halloween to be exact, a few friends and I made a studio visit to Joey Veltkamp’s space at Seattle University. He’s the artist in residence and is doing amazing work along with organizing an Artist’s Salon series. We had some interesting talks about the “Pre-Why” and the “Post-Why” concerning why artists do what they do. Much of the time we are in the process, inspired, creating, and perhaps completely unaware about the “Why” we are doing what we are doing. Or the “Why” might be because we saw something or heard something, and then something else went “click.” Then later, when we have to add context to it, the “Pre-Why” might end up different when we add fancy language to what we do. Does that makes sense? I love the bunny…

what a great post. I totally forgot about out pre-why /post-why discussion. Great picks too! I wished I could have had more time to hang with you and the artist crowd.
