For our 43rd episode, and our first after a multi-year (and multi-child) parental leave, we sat down face to face with artist June Canedo de Souza (@junecanedodesouza) on the occasion of Deli Radio—a platform she created with Daniel Santos while in residence at Recess Art in Brooklyn—which Top Rank was delighted to be included in.
We spoke to June about the enduring impacts of childhood on our perspective, obsessions, and creative expression; the thematic considerations of gender, labor, migration, and consumerism that permeate her art across painting, sculpture, and performance; and what it’s like to make art (or anything, really) as a new mother.
