Create Hear-Meggan Gould

In this interview for Create Hear, artist Meggan Gould discusses her exhibition, Sorry, No Pictures, with Mary Goodwin from Aurora PhotoCenter. Sorry, No Pictures is many things: It’s 20 years of photography-based work; a treatise on the nature of art-making; a memoir; a skillful meshing of visual and text-based pieces; and an inspirational narrative of perseverance as a maker. Sorry, No Pictures explores the artist’s relationship with photography, and specifically with its ever-evolving technology, over time. The show offers a beautiful, oftentimes laugh-out-loud funny, and ultimately hopeful narrative that art-making, by its nature involves failure, change, and transcendence.   Sorry, No Pictures, organized by Aurora PhotoCenter, opens at Tube Factory Artspace December 1, 6-9pm. At Tube through January 15, 2024.   Meggan Gould (meggangould.net) is a photographer living and working outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she is an Associate Professor of Art at the University of New Mexico. Her multifaceted practice uses photography, drawing, sculpture, and installation in an open ended discussion of vision and photographic tools.
