In Conversation on Burnaway

I’m honored to be featured on Burnaway‘s interview series, “In Conversation.” I had a great visit with Atlanta-based artist Noah Reyes who somehow distilled my breathless word babble into print: In Conversation with Holland Hopson.

As befits a publication dedicated to art in the American South and the Caribbean, our conversation was mostly about my studio art practice including my contributions to the Tracing Thin Air exhibition and installation with Karen Brummund and Allison Grant, my Loop Line Logics drawings, and assorted text-based works.

I was fortunate to spend the month of May as an Artist in Residence at Stove Works in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I shared the space with an inspiring and friendly group of artists: Tabitha Arnold, Emma Balder, Ollie Goss, Hannah Hill, Do? Kim, Noah Reyes, and Chelsea Sutton. Kate Greenwell was our Spring Resident Fellow.

While there I worked on a new series of drawings for my 2D plotters, experimented with monoprints and letterpress, and prototyped a sound installation. A very productive month thanks for the excellent staff and facilities at Stove Works.

Tonight is the opening reception for Noah Reyes’ a mole in the ground; a lizard in the spring exhibition at Stove Works’ Above the Water Fountain Gallery. The show is curated by Kate Greenwell.
