Artist stories

On December 6, 2012, multi-talented artist/designer/thinker/maker Gary Maricich came into the KZSC studio to talk about his multi-disciplinary work and his current show at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, Works in Progress.

In this installation, on the second-floor landing of the museum, Gary, along with several other artists, will be adding a new sketch to the wall every week for nine weeks. This installation fits neatly into his artistic practice. Gary has already been doing a “sketch-a-day” for the past year on his own except now he’s sharing with the public. The show runs from December 14, 2012 – March 17, 2013.

We also talked about his multi-media art pieces that are in the new Plantronics building on Encinal in Santa Cruz. The pieces are varied from an interactive wall hung wooden sound box to digital photographs and sculpture. Many of the pieces use the Plantronics Sound Graphic within the piece itself.
