Ginger Radio Hour: Donna Dennis. (Oct 06, 2024)
Produced by Justin Maiman.
Sculptor, painter, and printmaker Donna Dennis recently published the book Writing Toward Dawn: Selected Journals 1969-1982. Dennis has been keeping a journal for 50+ years and says writing is key to the art-making process. Our conversation focuses on her early years as an artist, the "excavation" process that she went through, and how the Hudson Valley has influenced her recent work.
Host Justin Maiman, from Cairo, shares his latest inspirations on the "Ginger Radio Hour." The show features music, field recordings, performances, and interviews, primarily with people in and around the Catskill Mountains of New York live from WGXC's Acra studio. Excerpts of interviews on this show are often heard again later on the "WGXC Morning Show," the "WGXC Afternoon Show," or "All Together Now!"
