Dawn Williams Boyd in conversation with Margaret T. McGehee

In this interview, contemporary visual artist Dawn Williams Boyd (b. 1952) shares with scholar Margaret T. McGehee the ways in which her work (which she terms "cloth paintings") and her house and studio in Atlanta, Georgia, serve as a sanctuary--a space of safety, a place where she can be at home, a place where she can sigh. She further shares details from her life that inform her art, discusses the process by which she creates cloth paintings, and offers insight into her aims and choices within specific pieces.
