Al Freeman brings a summer afternoon playlist; something for dads to  drive to. Host Nate Heiges talks with Al about her show at Grice Bench  in LA, covers & homages, and cool women in rock who died too soon.

Al Freeman is a sculptor who reproduces everyday objects at an exaggerated scale, rendering them puffy and tactile. By presenting her works as partially deflated, she playfully imbues a beer can, a hammer, or a lava lamp with a message of subverted masculinity. In her Comparisons series, Freeman juxtaposes iconic artworks with images lifted from the backwaters of the internet.

Al Freeman received a BFA in 2005 from Concordia University in Montréal, and an MFA in 2010 from Yale University.
