In part 1 of 2 with Los Angeles-based painter Sydney Croskery, she talks about:
transitioning from representation to abstraction during pandemic lockdown; transitional imagery which included using buffering Instagram screen shots as a source for her painting; making it OK when things are \u2018wrong\u2019 in the painting, part of a mandate of being nice to herself; her ambivalent relationship with abstract painting and being an abstract painter, and how she\u2019s navigating that conflict; and her effectiveness telling stories and connecting with artists and other art world folks on Instagram.
