The Art of Memory - Bill Armstrong - Ep 49

<p><a href="https://art2life.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://Art2Life.com</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- Why does a memory always seem a little blurry and slightly soft-edged when we look back in time? It feels like reality. It is familiar but oddly just beyond our grasp. Memories are places beyond the veil of presence that are wonderfully and not so easily defined. Just thinking about this notion begins to lift us out of our day-to-day experience like a balloon slipped from its tether, rising slowly, magically up into the blue. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today on the podcast, we are talking with Manhattan-based artist Bill Armstrong. He utilizes repurposed imagery, abstraction, simplification, and blur to create his art. The gorgeous images are startling in their presence. They serve as a beautiful invitation for us all to feel more deeply the emotional, transcendent nature of our lives. Join me now for this illuminating conversation with Bill. I think you will find his work not only unforgettable (I can't stop thinking of them) but also so, so beautifully transporting.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">================================</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN…</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Bill found his creative fire and became a photographer [2:48]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bill’s path to metaphorical photography [7:08]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gaining clarity on Bill’s signature blurry style [15:31]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The logistics of Bill’s art practice [23:13] </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The role of color and size in Bill’s work [30:22]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How spirituality impacts Bill’s art-making and what lights him up when people connect with his work [35:00]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The road ahead for Bill and final thoughts [42:37]</spa
