"When I started working on this show I knew that I wanted to let myself be nostalgic and goofy," Katie Kimmel told us a few weeks back in our interview with her and Lorien Stern for their show Very Rare with Hashimoto Contemporary. "I laughed to myself constantly in the studio throughout and I hope people can appreciate how much fun this show was to put together." 

 

 

In many ways, Kimmel's work is perfect for If You Were Here Now, the art therapy and tutorial projects we have partnered with to help bring creativity and household workshops to most of us sheltered in place. Kimmel's playful works are the perfect anecdote to these uncertain times, and  today, we present a short video, "How To Make a Sculptural Magnet with Katie Kimmel," filmed at her studio in California.
