Cranium Corporation Interview
Interview and studio visit with artist Erik Parra, by Á.R. Vázquez-Concepción of Cranium Corporation.
Erik Parra shares his painting practice and current body of work during Cranium Corporation interview and studio visit.
I was recently invited to share my thoughts about my studio practice and current 'zine project with Á.R. Vázquez-Concepcíon at the Cranium Corporation. We get into the origin story of my current body of work and how my personal history informs this. We also talk about the "magic of painting" and I am really not sure how, but that phrase really did pop out as I responded to his question. We also discuss collage and my current ongoing book project mowa. I hope you will take a couple of minutes and listen!
Please find the interview linked here.
Thank You!
