Salim Moore, Age 33
Name/Age:
What brought you to where you live?
Most recently, my job at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College. Also, the epic romance between my parents that began in Claremont, too.
What is your favorite color? What is your favorite place?
My favorite colors are blue-greens that we see in the native sage plants and trickles of water in urban settings.
My favorite place is Cambria, CA. It is the first place I ever experienced the magic of tide pools.
Name three of your favorite books:
A Patter Language, Wild Fermentation, the Hero with A Thousand Faces
Which artists inspire you? Why?
Peter Doig, Mari Eastman, Anne Harris, Richard Hull, Richard Deutsch, Susanna Coffey, Susan Kraut, Jim Barry, Dwayne Moser, Arnold Kempy, Andrew Cranston, Adam Scott, Kay Yee, Heather Kurz, Marla Frazee, and anyone who I have had the pleasure of knowing.
An artist is a visionary who brings essential knowledge to the town square. They can this with their mind, body, and spirit. They are also tricksters and shape shifters.
