Spent a lot of time today with Sebastián Espejo's work while preparing to speak with him at his studio tomorrow. Very interested to hear about how he reconciles his routine and moment-of-looking-based practice with taking multiple months, even years to make his surfaces. The relationship between the specific moment of looking and the image accumulated over extended time, of renewing and revisiting. Have also been introduced to the Chilean painter and writer Adolfo Couve through him—a gift, a new way to look at gray (and red) that will require a much deeper dive at some point soon. Can't wait to get into his writing too.
