Tanya Marcuse - Episode 89

Tanya Marcuse makes photographs that capture the imperiled natural world—images like craggy trees changing through the seasons, luscious and rotted fruit covered in a winter frost, or an animal spine draped through misty woods. Tanya talks about her artistic trajectory circling back to her childhood, how her photography leans into the realm of painting, foraging through nature for content, Dante’s Inferno as an important conceptual muse, learning through technical failure, curiosity and looking outward, transformation and metamorphosis, showing work and object specificity, looking for euphoria in her practice, and the thrill and risk of being an artist.
