Summary

Avi Farber is a wood-fire ceramic artist and documentary photographer based in Taos, New Mexico, U.S.A. Avi studied philosophy at Bates College, ME, Digital Media Production at the Maine Media Workshops, and Spanish at the Universidad de Cuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. Working in clay, Avi creates installations, sculptures, and functional wares that explore natural processes. Avi's work is raw and refined, subtle and gestural. Drawn to the moments that break through the distractions of daily life, Avi documents the unbridled power of wildfires. A firsthand witness to climate change, Avi makes photographs and ceramics works that offer a bridge to the natural landscapes, a connection that has been lost by many as we distance ourselves from the ecosystems we rely on. Avi's photos and video reveal a strong sense of place as seen from a quite observer. Avi's ceramic work has been exhibited internationally, and his documentary photography of wildfires has been recognized by National Geographic magazine.

0:19.8	Welcome to the show. I thought it'd be time to take a moment
0:22.8	and get a quick update on John Britt. As you may recall, and if you don't know about this,
0:30.6	then it's time for you to know, John Britt was in a bicycle accident a couple months back.
0:36.5	And what was initially thought to be a you know like a
0:40.3	a six-week turnaround turns out that it's going to be like a year turnaround and the guy is
0:47.5	progressing so he gave a little bit of an update a little while ago and he's but he's been
0:52.0	upgraded to a walker yeah he's now doing a walker.
0:57.5	And that's, from his perspective, that's huge news. He went to the doctor and they said that
1:02.2	everything was still in place, like the bones were not getting all out of joint or out of,
1:07.2	not out of joint, but out of whack, and that he can start physical therapy on his shoulder. And you can start putting weight on himself a little bit. And so a bit longer on the hip, but it's okay. So, yeah, that's good news. He's getting more energy, which is good. So now, all this stuff is on his GoFundMe page. If you haven't supported John, this might be a good time to do it. You can go to GoFundMe.com and you can look up him under his name, just John Britt, and you'll be able to get to him.

2:13.6	right after this quick word from our sponsor. Do you know why I like Studio Pro?
