"Art in Isolation with Alison Saar," text by Lindsay Preston Zappas, CARLA
In the coming weeks, Carla founder and editor-in-chief Lindsay Preston Zappas will be hosting chats with members of the L.A. art community via Instagram Live on Fridays.
The following was edited for web from an Instagram Live conversation on April 24, 2020 at 5:30 PST.
Lindsay Preston Zappas: One thing you wanted to talk about was how nature has been really soothing, and [about] finding a space for nature.
Alison Saar: I am really fortunate—I was raised in Laurel Canyon, and [when] we moved back from New York, we found a place in Laurel Canyon. Not only am I a mile away from my mom, which is really great, but we’re in this oak canopy, and there’s flora and fauna and lots of birds and wildlife, so it’s really lovely. It doesn’t feel we’re being shut in so much because we have this beautiful yard to be in.
