Art Writing as an Extension of Life

Artists in My Life dissolves the fourth wall between artist, art object, and viewer, offering a welcome approach to arts writing as an extension of how artists live. | Sarah Rose Sharp

Margaret Randall's writing reflects an artist’s sensitivity to process and inspiration, and the understanding that art comes from somewhere, and communicates experience.

With analysis that is either deeply intuitive or directly informed by personal experience or encounters, she presents the life of an artist as both subject and narrator.
