Welcome to Wet Paint in the Wild, the freewheeling—and free!—spinoff of Artnet News Pro’s beloved Wet Paint gossip column, where we give art-world insiders a disposable camera to chronicle their lives on the circuit.
I don’t want summer to end, do you? School is back in session next week, so for one final romp of summery bliss, I handed over a camera to sculptor Dee Clements, who has spent the summer up in Deer Isle, Maine, teaching at the famous artist residency, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. What could be a better balm for the August heat than some good old-fashioned basket weaving with the art stars? Take it away, Dee!
