The impacts of colonialism and political oppression as well as the natural world are commonly explored themes in Ford\u2019s work. He now lives and works in upstate New York.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Smith student Louise Kohrman, class of 2002, was particularly affected by her experiences during two workshops conducted with Walton Ford (two more informal workshops took place in 2001 and 2004):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">What I recall most about Walton Ford is his extremely friendly, witty, and open personality. I was lucky enough to have him critique my own work and even write a recommendation for me as I was applying to graduate school at the Rhode Island School of Design where he attended school as an undergraduate. Walton was much more willing to discuss what he was doing while he worked than any other artist I had previously met. There were no secrets about his work\u2014it seemed to come to life as he drew and talked about the narrative. I would have to say that the highlight of the second workshop was getting to participate directly in the printing process. Sponging the litho plates while Maurice Sanchez charged them with ink and Walton watched made me feel fully integrated into the collaborative process of the work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WALTON FORD 2001\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hdrpZO7OBuk?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Walton Ford.
