Hi, this is Christina Varga from the Varga Gallery in Woodstock, New York, and on behalf
of Expert Village, today I'm gonna show you how to be a self-taught artist. Not an easy
thing. Alright, here are my materials, some of them. These are the liquids that I have.
See I keep them down under here because liquids really can only fall down. So they'll spill
on the floor, no big deal. They used to be on a raised shelf, and, bad feng shui, bad
feng shui. So, put your chemicals on the floor, make sure that they don't spill anywhere,
that they're sort of protected from people. Kids can't get into it, even though that's
totally kid-level, what am I talking about? And come over here. Pardon me. We're also
having an opening right now, or a closing, I should say. Closing party. Here goes Louie
Gusparro, one of the artists that were in this exhibition. And here are my flat things
and my materials that I use, that I cut up, scissors, surfaces that I paint on, stuff
that I get randomly, stretchers and old canvasses, and stuff like that; actual canvas, all my
art books are up here. That's reference material. I have stuff for, here are my wood mosaics
that I cut up. Over here are the papers that I use, like this is all my collage material.
And then I have stacks and stacks of ***. I have stacks and stacks of *** that
I use in my work, and I can show you those if you want. I don't have to show you those.
We'll do *** in another segment.
