Aren Skalman Community Room Artist in Residence July 31 to Aug. 20. 2023 About Aren’s Residency at Art Produce: Transforming an object’s form and function is an exercise in navigating the fluid and reciprocal boundaries between self and other. During this residency I will be revisiting my family’s history of traveling to other countries in order to pursue creative endeavors. By displaying objects and imagery, painting, sculpting, and conversing with the community, I will examine ideas around inspiration, hybridization, appropriation, and evangelism.
