Arlene Shechet, Visiting Artist Lecture 2012

In this presentation at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, artist Arlene Shechet talks about her early decision to commit to her studio practice as the number one priority in her life, and shares examples of her plaster, clay, crystal, ceramic and porcelain work, both individually and in installation, commenting on her various artistic interests such as history, architecture, choreography, humor, risk and the relationship of the body, hers or that of her audience, to the works.
