Anti-Chemical Warfare | Artist Kirsten Stolle

Many visual artists start by envisioning scenes or images, or they work from sketches, photos or memories. Kirsten Stolle has spent a decade taking artistic inspiration from agrochemical companies. She pulls and manipulates imagery and text to spotlight what she calls the greenwashing and troubled histories of Monsanto and Dow Chemical. In this episode, Stolle talks with Matt Peiken about the seeds of her artistic inquiry, the heavy research fuelling her work and the line she straddles between artistry and activism. Her current show is on view through April 8 at Tracey Morgan Gallery.
