ITAS Podcast Season 6, Ep.4
I’m constantly amazed at the diversity of the art scene in San Diego, CA – right in my backyard! Today’s guest is Annalise Neil, a cyanotypes artist who creates incredibly complex surrealistic compositions full of deep philosophical meaning. Each of them tells a story that you can “read” by unraveling one tiny detail after another. And all of a sudden, you find yourself having an existential conversation with an artwork.
Intrigued? Good! Listen to my conversation with Annalise Neil and learn more from the artist herself!
