Anna Mayer’s practice is sculptural and social, with an emphasis on hand-built ceramics. Her methodology emerges from enacting formative site-specific projects in Southern California and her interest in the relationship between speech and consciousness. She is an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Houston.
Read Anna’s conversation with Candice Lin and Poppy Coles in the new issue here.

Alison O’Daniel is a filmmaker and visual artist exploring sound, acoustics, access, and complex embodiment. Informed by her experiences of being hard of hearing and her collaborations with other Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing composers, athletes, musicians, and performers, she explores new ways to navigate, deconstruct, and reimagine the aural world. O’Daniel and Kim have collaborated twice previously: Christine made a score for O’Daniel’s in-progress film The Tuba Thieves (2013– ongoing), and O’Daniel wrote captions for Kim’s project Closed Readings.
