Studio Tour: Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt발음듣기

Thomas: Here we are. There is Jack Smith's picture, stained glass windows.발음듣기

Over there, there's angels up there. A lot of things.발음듣기

The angels are from Charmin toilet paper.발음듣기

Cut their little faces out and made them into little angels. There they are, little cherubs.발음듣기

This was actually once a bedroom, but as art supplies built up, built up, there they are. Art supplies stacked everywhere.발음듣기

These boxes have become a panorama very much like the Andes.발음듣기

As we see, as we move through, sort of like a mountain rage that's about to have an avalanche.발음듣기

Here we have an angel head. That's the wings.발음듣기

That's the head. See, there's the angel.발음듣기

But, [unintelligible] are done, they look like that.발음듣기

So it'll look more like a stained glass window.발음듣기

This room, I used to use as a total work space.발음듣기

Eventually, it's filled up with art supplies, which are endless.발음듣기

If you try to picture this room with nothing in it.발음듣기

That's how it was when I first moved in here.발음듣기

That's when I was making the parts for the iconastasis, which is now in the Peter Ludwig Museum in Aachen, Germany.발음듣기

What's interesting about the iconostasis, is it could not fit into this room, because it's too big for this room.발음듣기

The iconostasis was made out of wood, by a carpenter.발음듣기

Then, the separate parts had to be made here, individual.발음듣기

The separate parts are a lot smaller than the whole thing, so I made each of the parts.발음듣기

The materials in the iconostasis, as with most of the art I make, are basically household materials.발음듣기

Generally, I don't use many art materials.발음듣기

I might use a little acrylic paint or gesso once in a while.발음듣기

Okay, yes, the writing is very important. Taste is everything.발음듣기

That doesn't mean good taste either.발음듣기

Any taste can rise to the level of art.발음듣기

Good taste is the last refuge of the unimaginative.발음듣기

This is the room where the sacramentality of art is realized in the fullness of it's concretization.발음듣기

Like, there on that very piece of wood, the mensa, the altar. That's where the art happens. That's the major altar.발음듣기

The minor altar is another piece of wood that lays somewhere.발음듣기

Here is where I make art. This is beloved my roommate.발음듣기

It's a Bart Simpson doll and it's an actual skull. Very memento mori.발음듣기

Kind of like sobering. (sound of breaking bone) Oh! (laughs) (sound of breaking bone) Sometimes it hits home, what it really is.발음듣기

Then, I feel like Mary Magdalene.발음듣기

She always holds those skulls in the paintings.발음듣기
