Rory Hamovit - On Practice

In this episode, Gem Fletcher chats to the artist Rory Hamovit. Rory uses his work as a site to interrogate and explore notions of masculinity, queerness, performance and history. Rory understands what it takes to really commit to a studio practice - to embrace introspection and humour - to cultivate a space that is unrestrained and playful. His work is about craftsmanship on multiple plains from the physicality of building and making, to always questioning and reframing. He inserts vulnerability as a strategy for world-building. Rory recently graduated with his MFA from Yale School of Art. In this conversation, we discuss Rory’s journey, how he thinks about performance, process, vulnerability, collaboration and so much more.  Follow Rory on Instagram @roryhamovit Follow Gem @gemfletcher on Instagram.
