Kevin Kirkwood sits down with Trish at Bululu Studios in Savannah, Georgia. Their conversation highlights a few of the key moments in her creative career. She also talks about her latest exhibition at Laney Contemporary which was titled, Wild Frontier. This gathering of new work was a collaborative effort between Trish and her husband, Michael Porten.
As an interdisciplinary artist born and raised in Dalton, Georgia "The Carpet Capital of the World”, Trish Andersen's initial attraction to the process of tufting was a means to reconnect with and explore her roots. Years after attending the Savannah College of Art and Design and moving on to live and work in Brooklyn, New York, she began using the medium as an examination of the notion that a thing or a way of being can run in our blood; that perhaps by observing the characteristics of personal origin and establishing commonality and community around those that reverberate in the present, one may be able to begin unearthing the elusive authentic self.
