"hey, SMA! Molly Jae Vaughan"
Abbie Mclaren interviews visiting artist Molly Jae Vaughan to gain insights into the artists creative process and learn more about Project 42.
"hey, SMA!" is a video interview series with visiting artists designed to succinctly communicate their work and philosophies to a public audience. This series is Abbie McLaren’s personal project for her 2023-24 academic year as museum programs intern at the Stanley Museum of Art.
Since 2012, Molly Jae Vaughan has utilized her interdisciplinary approach to art making to honor the lives of victims of violence through the creation of unique garments and diverse collaborative memorial actions. Project 42 helps to create spaces for conversations and actions through public workshops, lectures, and collaborative performances. Vaughan, who is also a Senior Associate Professor and a former K-12 teacher, uses her background in education to create opportunities in which slow labor offers a space for conversation and connection.
