This episode is with curator Martha Traer of our current exhibition Sound &amp; Vision and two artists in the show, Kat Kinnick &amp; Eliza Lutz. They talk about the process of turning a song into a piece of visual art and the influence of music in their creative lives. 
For this show, each artist was asked to choose a song and create an 11 x 14-inch piece of work inspired by the music. With artists working in a wide variety of media and styles, Sound and Vision is a kaleidoscope of memory embedded in music. 
Listen to the playlist of all the songs chosen here.

A Creative Excuse is a reason to build relationships with artists and talk about how art actually gets made. Hosted by Santa Fe–based couple Frank Rose, a gallerist and curator, and Kara Duval, an artist, dancer, and bodyworker, the podcast is an open-ended conversation with artists from New Mexico and beyond. Each guest is in the midst of - or has just completed - a body of work for an exhibition, so the work, the doubts, the obsessions, and the everyday realities of creative life are all part of the exchange. Presented by Hecho a Mano, A Creative Excuse is less about answers and more about paying attention: to process, presence, and the strange, necessary act of making things.
