Amie Potsic interviews Wavy Gravy - artist, poet, storyteller, clown, hippie icon, and temple of accumulated error. Wavy Gravy will discuss his visual art and creative journey highlighting his new work on wood. From poet and performer to philanthropist and change-maker, his artistic trajectory has been a fun and bumpy ride.
Wavy Gravy is not your ordinary artist, nor your ordinary clown. He certainly has had a long run since his earlier days as a poet and stand-up comic, improvisational theater artist, psychedelic bus caravan luminary, and rock concert MC. Yet his reach extends far beyond the comic and MC’ing the original Woodstock. He is devoted to “do something good for a change,” and his creative activism on behalf of peace, justice, and good humor is legendary. Along with Jahanara, his wife of over fifty years, he has brought joy and helped to relieve suffering for countless people around the globe, largely through his favorite causes and organizations he founded, Camp Winnarainbow and the Seva Foundation. In addition to all this, Wavy is a prolific visual artist doing collage and mixed media works inspired by music, memory, spiritual discovery, and photographs. His new work involves collage on rough-hewn rounds of wood from trees at Black Oak Ranch, the Hog Farm commune’s County Seat in Northern California.
