Liv sits down with 25 year-old Drew Baker, known by the artist name "Baker," both a painter who draws from the modernists to paint rural scenes evocative of the death of the American mythos, and a sculptor who draws from the unseen laborers and technicians that craft the technology we find ourselves interacting with every day.

Tierney Smith and Elleah Gipson - NYU's Photography and Imaging 2026 Senior Thesis Exhibition, Pt. 2 - Hide the Brushstrokes

On February 6th, NYU's Department of Photography and Imaging (DPI) celebrated the opening night of their Senior Thesis Exhibition, featuring 48 photographers from the graduating class of 2026. Four of these emerging photographers responded to my interview request, so this episode will be the first of two special double-interview episodes. For the second installment, we'll hear from Tierney Smith and Elleah Gipson about their projects. Tierney's senior thesis project, "The Field Has Eyes," explores how women move through space and navigate "the gaze" at the onset of adulthood. Tierney's portfolio is available here [https://tierneysmith.myportfolio.com/the-field-has-eyes]. Elleah's project, By Blood, captures special moments between twins of all ages. Elleah's work is available here [https://www.instagram.com/elleah.gipson?igsh=MWUybG4yenFudDd4Mw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr].
