Sister Lousia Interviewed by CL
In an Interview today by Wyatt Williams for Creative Loafing,
Religious folks like to say that God has a special plan for all of us. If that’s the case for Atlanta’s Sister Louisa, you can be sure that God has one hell of a sense of humor.
According to Sister Louisa’s biography, she was leading a quiet life in a convent near Baton Rouge, Louisiana until she met the janitor, “Luscious” Lamar Thibideau. Their love affair caused Louisa to leave the convent in disgrace. The new couple hit road together, eventually ending up in an Airstream trailer here in Atlanta. These days, Louisa makes religious art from objects that “Luscious” finds for her.
Before Louisa’s upcoming show at Aurora Coffee, we wanted to ask her a few questions about life after the convent. She’s a little hard to get in touch with, but her good friend Grant Henry passed along our questions to her.
Check it out.
