Episode #064: Ida Applebroog discusses her life as an "image scavenger" in her New York studio, while working on her "Photogenetics" series—a blend of photography, sculpture, painting and digital media.
Ida Applebroog propels her paintings and drawings into the realm of installation by arranging and stacking canvases in space, exploding the frame-by-frame logic of comic-book and film narrative into three-dimensional environments. Strong themes in her work include gender and sexual identity, power struggles, and the pernicious role of mass media in desensitizing the public to violence.

I love the point she makes here. A lot of artists--and just people in general--feel as if everything they consume has to be of the utmost quality, or else they become embarrassed and feel as though they are not refined enough.
I am not ashamed to say that I watch some of the crappiest reality shows, listen to the most basic and inane pop music, and go to see extremely childish, potty-humor comedies. And you know what? It is where I get a good deal of my inspiration as an artist.
