Episode 10: ANGELA ROGERS
Angela Rogers, a self-taught artist, started creating three-dimensional figures by wrapping yarn around sticks after undergoing brain surgery and developing a seizure disorder in 2012. Her works, known as "Poppets," combine various media such as clay, fabric, wire, beads, and talismans, and have been exhibited at venues such as Andrew Edlin Gallery, Gallery at HAI, and Art on A Gallery. Angela's pieces are also part of several private collections, and she has participated in residencies at the Ace Hotel and the Carlton Arms Hotel. In addition to being an artist, Angela is a Tarot card reader and has created multiple Tarot decks and a feminist comic book titled No One Likes a Woman. She is also a performer and co-founder of the bands Lone Vein and Ash Negative, and her paintings have been featured in films like Side Effects and What Maisie Knew by Steven Soderbergh.
