Collaging and Artistic Legacies with Merritt Glover

Side Crafts

In this episode, Jocelyn is joined by actor Merritt Glover, who is also a collage artist, photographer, painter, and poet. Merritt has worked on shows such as Get Shorty, Breaking Bad, Interrogation, and The Cleaning Lady, among others, and she also creates stunning mixed media art - namely multi-layered collages inspired often by the lyrics of Tori Amos. We talk about Merritt's family’s artistic legacies, how she got started in film, her creation processes, and art’s many roles in her life - as therapy, as community, and as politics.
After the show, go to @sidecraftspodcast on Instagram to see photos of some of the art pieces that Merritt shared during this conversation - and some examples of the handmade pies we talked about!

Merritt's art is available to view and purchase on Fine Art America.
