Lee Boot (00:04): Now you're standing in front of a sort of dark gray painting, the same size as the, the last one that you saw on the other side of the, the digital video about painting. This is another pro, this is another painting from the Who We Am Project. And it's again, multiple panels, 28 panels that I moved around using that same painting and photo collaging process. This painting ended up really, I think, capturing something that I feel very strongly about the way culture exists in the human sphere, which sounds like a really pointy headed thing to say. It's almost embarrassing.

(00:47): But you know, the, the question I'm trying to answer here is if you could see culture, if culture was something you could see, what would it look like? And so you can kind of see, well, there's people walking around, you see all this feet sticking down from the top, and then there's just this kind of web of interconnections, really like a network in the middle of the painting. And this, um, sort of out of focus version of that, uh, around the edges. And I, what can I say that just lands for me the way the idea of culture does?
