In this interview for Create Hear, artist Meggan Gould discusses her exhibition, Sorry, No Pictures, with Mary Goodwin from Aurora PhotoCenter. Sorry, No Pictures is many things: It’s 20 years of photography-based work; a treatise on the nature of art-making; a memoir; a skillful meshing of visual and text-based pieces; and an inspirational narrative of perseverance as a maker. Sorry, No Pictures explores the artist’s relationship with photography, and specifically with its ever-evolving technology, over time. The show offers a beautiful, oftentimes laugh-out-loud funny, and ultimately hopeful narrative that art-making, by its nature involves failure, change, and transcendence.

Sorry, No Pictures, organized by Aurora PhotoCenter, opens at Tube Factory Artspace December 1, 6-9pm. At Tube through January 15, 2024.
