“Flex” by Patricia Clarke

Two artists explore gender in a multimedia work and gallery show!

On today’s show I talk with photographer Patricia Clarke and multimedia artist Stuart Carey. Their collaborative show, “Erasing Lines: Chrysalis” opens at SBCAST Decemeber 1 and continues for a month. However, it’s the Saturday, Dec. 3, that you really much catch. (This is a correction to the date that I said in the podcast). That is when Stuart will transform himself into the character Amber, a full drag creation, over several hours in the gallery window facing Garden Street. And then afterwards she will front Stuart’s jazz band, the X-Tet.

(That is a ticketed event, Red, a fundraiser for Pacific Pride and for World AIDS Day.)

This is a culmination of work that Patricia and Stuart have been working on for years, with her documentation of Santa Barbara’s drag scene. The gallery itself features Stuart’s paintings and canvases, along with Patricia’s photography, some featuring Stuart in the act of transforming, and some featuring other drag queens in Santa Barbara.

“Check” by Patricia Clarke features Amber

By the way, Stuart has been a guest once before on the podcast.

This is a shared interview, so we really don’t get into it like other interviews, but rest assured, we will have both back on for separate episodes. In the meantime you can find Stuart at stucarey.com and Patricia at patriciahoughtonclarke.com
