ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Katy Martin, “Art, Danger and Sacred Space,” BOMB Magazine, Spring 1999
INTERVIEW (with Jasper Johns)
Katy Martin, An Interview with Jasper Johns about Silkscreening, 1980
I recorded this interview for a film I was making, Hanafuda/Jasper Johns. It’s on the soundtrack and also it’s been published several times.
Note: I’m including this here because it says a lot about who I was as a young artist and also Jasper’s words continue to resonate with me.
INTERVIEW (with Nick Pappas)
Katy Martin, “Nick Pappas on Plato and Wittgenstein: An Interview with philosopher Nickolas Pappas,” BOMB Magazine, summer, 1996
Note: I’m including this here because Bomb’s interviews are structured like conversations between artists.
