Our guest on this week’s episode of A Line Around Your Thoughts is Mallory Battista, an independent artist who works in a variety of media.
You’ve probably already come across Mallory’s work in the form of murals, mosaic sculptures, holiday window displays, ironworking or comics. She was even kind enough to design the logo for this podcast.
We ended up talking about, among other things, zines, the Garbage Goat and the importance of public art — as well as the recent renaissance of public art in Spokane, and why that might be under threat by the current economic climate.
NB: We recorded this ahead of this year’s Spokane Zine Fest, which took place last weekend, so the upcoming issue of Spokane Sequential that Mallory references is already here. The same goes for her Asphalt Art street mural near Emerson Park, which was completed earlier this week.
Her new “Dragons and Rime” bench is set to be unveiled in Riverfront Park’s Sister Cities Garden later this month.
Once again, many thanks to our founding sponsor, Rogue Heart Media SPC, for supporting these early episodes.
