Krystal Ramirez and I are having a somewhat awkward conversation. Not uncomfortable; just … weird. A photographer and, for want of a better term, text artist her pieces manipulate language in ways similar to Jenny Holzer and Christopher Wool, though she has her own distinct style Ramirez is one of Las Vegas’ more audacious visual talents, certainly worthy of a feature piece. But at the same time, we’ve known each other for nearly seven years, worked together for part of it and our conversations have always been a little bit like interviews, as we’re inclined toward heavy discussions about art and identity. It makes sense that our first proper interview would feel a bit like hangin’ out.
