Interview with artist Heidy Cody

Take a look at this interview in NYArts with friend of Stay Free! Heidy Cody about the ubiquity of brand identifiers and the critique implicit in her art. (Wow, if that sentence doesn't sell you on an interesting interview, nothing will!)

Among other things, you can read the origin story for Heidi's art-enabling superpower:

... I also lived in France until I was eight, and my belated introduction to American consumerism was like, Pow! Look at all this candy! Also, my father refused to buy a color TV because he thought it would distort my idea of reality. Word. I didn’t understand, but now I think having a 13” black and white TV for ten years made everything else more colorful to me. There’s a lot of commercial information that I zoom in on that others just don’t see. It’s like I have bionic Pop vision.

Thanks, friend of Stay Free! Jim Hanas!
