Since joining the RISD Museum last fall, Dominic Molon, our Richard Brown Baker Curator of Contemporary Art, has sought out out connections with local artists through a series of studio visits. I have actively tried to develop a thorough understanding of the work being made by artists in the community, he says. My visits here have so far been characterized by much-appreciated insights into Rhode Island art history and culture—from Paula Martiesian’s introducing me to the art of past figures such as Florence Lief and Gordon Peers, to Ruth Dealy extolling the virtues of a trip to the Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru.
