Studio Visit with Ursula Hudson

Smithsonian American Art Museum

Ursula Hudson and her sister Lily Hope are among the young artists who are always on my mind when I am writing the Creative Lifestyle series and inspired me during a family gathering to create this series of articles. Rosalia and I have been friends of the family since we met in the early 1990’s when Ursula was a child. This video is made in the same house where we used to always hang out.

From the video’s Youtube page:

“Go into the studio of artist Ursala Hudson (Tlingit) for a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of her studio, followed by a conversation on her materials and artistic process. Hudson, who was given the name Kadusné by her mother, which means “they are weaving,” is a transdisciplinary artist of Caucasian, Filipina, and Tlingit descent. She explores her interrelated worldview and philosophies through two-dimensional and fiber arts. Hudson is best known for her woven, couture Chilkat and Ravenstail ceremonial regalia, which are often featured in high-fashion outlets and cultural venues. In addition to the intimate look at her studio space, Hudson discusses the importance of incorporating sound and movement into this sacred medium, contrasting the traditionally seen static display of regalia in historic and cultural institutions. She was one of the featured artists the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s exhibition, “Sharing Honors and Burdens: Renwick Invitational 2023.” This virtual studio tour was presented on March 7, 2024.” https://americanart.si.edu/exhibition...
