466: Fund Drive: Anat Shiftan on the human perception and distortion of nature

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have
an interview with Anat Shiftan. Her sculptures incorporate floral
elements that are precariously arranged as a metaphor for the
human perception of nature and our impact on the environment. In
our interview we talk about her childhood and family history,
historical depictions of nature, and retiring from teaching after
twenty years at SUNY New Paltz. To see examples of her work visit
www.anatshiftan.info.
