Part one of Pac Pobric's two-part conversation with painter Steuart Pittman about photography and painting.

Pittman remarks: "Being a person who makes reductive work was challenging with this project because I might have been interested in... close-up shots of a wall, any wall...  A monochrome painting is a lot different from a monochrome photograph, and I like to use photography to do things I can’t do with my painting. And I guess a lot of times I’d rather take pictures of things than draw them. They’re different stories, photography and painting."

Part two is available here.
