In this indepth talk with Taos, New Mexicobased artist RayMel Cornelius, we discuss:
• The complicated relationship many Texans have with their home state
• How a childhood in rural Texas, open spaces, and living in cities have influenced RayMel’s work
• The political and environmental subtext of landscapes
• The instinctual nature of artmaking
• Loaded words and subjective meaning
• RayMel’s background as an illustrator and how that does and does not connect to his current work
• Joy, edginess, and the “Should’s” in art
• Differences between illustration and fine art
• Watching the moon landing, experiencing the total eclipse, and awe of the Universe
• The differences in how we perceive color, how we visually communicate information outside the range of human perception, and how that translates into life
