I loved every minute connecting with Los Angeles based artist Pia Pack! From talking about art school, dealing with post-grad school anxiety, moving internationally, to balancing work and family. Pia was such a treat to talk to! We dive into creating community through podcasting and how she is doing all of this with a new baby along for the ride! Pia sees her work as that of a cartographer of social situations. Focusing on the way people connect and interact, translating movements and mapping sounds into her artwork. At the center of her practice is the desire to bring people together.       Creating art can at times be a solitary experience, by comparison, music is often considered a great unifier. What Artists Listen To is creating an archive of the soundtracks and stories of artists' lives. This combines the music the artists listen to with the story of their lives. Listened to as a whole the recordings serve to create a sense of connection between these individual artists working in their studios.       Pia Pack studied Fine Art in London at Byam Shaw St.Martins School of Art, Wimbledon School of Art, and Hochschule für Künste, Hamburg. She completed her MFA at Bath School of Art, UK.       Pia has a solo show ‘TABLE TALK’ at Alex Eagle Studio opening on Wednesday 4th December! If you are in London, check it out! https://www.alexeagle.co.uk/pia-pack-the-art-of-table-talk/https://www.instagram.com/piapack/ https://www.piapack.com/

Artist Pia Pack: Creating Community through Art & Family -Motherhood, Music, Food, and Podcasting!

Pia Pack is an artist originally from London, England, currently residing in Los Angeles. She is the step mother to one teenage daughter and the mother to another daughter age 3, and a baby boy.  Pia makes paintings about the importance of social connectivity in an age of anxiety, using a combination of abstract painting, video, and map making to create reflections on communal meals. She explains her fascinating process and we chat a bit about our shared roles in our communities as the person who often seems to bring people together. She shares some incredibly inspiring words about human connection, reminding me that life really is about the people you encounter and those who are in your life…community is everything. We also have a great chat about the time in her life when she almost gave up art because of lack of confidence, but then eventually found her way back. Now that she is a mother, she actually feels like she is flourishing with less time in the studio than she’s ever had before. We talk about the choice we have made to stay home with our kids, how we sometimes forget to own that choice and find gratitude in our experiences. Pia shares about her podcast which she started as a way to get connected with other artists in Los Angeles. What Artists Listen to Podcast collects stories and soundtracks of female artists lives.
