In this episode, artist Harry Dodge reads from My Meteorite, or Without the Random There Can Be No New Thing (Penguin Press, 2020). Dodge, a sculptor, writes from inside the artist’s life and the sometimes inchoate density of a studio practice. Tracking us through cosmic patterns and material grapplings as they intersect with family, work, and grief, Dodge’s first book gives us a genre-defying memoir that succeeds as art writing.
