Join Viewing Program artist Sophie Grant on Instagram Live for a tour of her studio, during which she’ll present a selection of artworks and discuss her unique drawing practice. Grant is a New York-based artist whose recent work includes a series of graphite rubbings made at various roadside sites between New York and California. Grant describes this process as an opportunity “to connect with the echoes of histories embedded in object surfaces.”
