Today Julia and Erin talk all about the struggle of identifying ourselves as artists on social media. It can often feel like social media puts us artists in a box. There is no wrong way to do social media, but Erin has some great tips from her Marketing and Advertising background to position yourself as a business and a brand if/when you want to get to that stage in your art career. We also discuss how to uphold our individuality as artists while showing our work on social platforms, and setting boundaries that make social media work for us rather than feel like a slave to it.

Today's episode we are joined by Gabrielle Egnater, a sculptor living in Detroit, Michigan. Gabbi currently works as the technician in the metal shop and foundry for the College of Creative Studies, all while simultaneously forging her path as an artist. Gabbi describes the art of foundry, how she fell in love with it, and where her passion for metal working has taken her both in her career and in her creative practice.
Gabbi's current work questions the ideal of a monument/memorial/maker with ephemeral objects, home shrines, miniatures, and interactive objects. Her work feels especially relevant in our current political climate, which led to an enlightening conversation around what monuments mean to us in today's world.
This is our first sculptor on the show, and we couldn't have asked for a better guest! Thank you Gabbi!
