Opulent Mobility artist talk 2020, part 6:
Founder and curator A. Laura Brody speaks with Sandy Huse about her art and process.

"This sculpture was part of a call and response collaboration during the spring of 2020 as the COVID 19 pandemic forced artists to consider new ways to communicate and work as galleries and studio spaces closed. I was paired with a video artist and we were tasked to respond to each other’s work with a 24-hour turnaround time over the space of 16 days, thus each completing 8 individual works per artist.
Can You Hear? is an exploration of how, despite being connected via electronic equipment of all types, communication is often still difficult, particularly for people with disabilities. A tiny screen, a minuscule speaker, and apps that are dense and confusing all contribute to the frustration of efficient communication. We constantly struggle to hear and see, and are frustrated when the technology we have come to depend on is faulty or difficult to work with."
