Afshan Daneshvar is a visual artist who's work is deeply rooted and inspired by her Persian culture and upbringing. Afshan talks about her journey on becoming an artist, how she fell in love with paper, and how a vintage notebook from her grandfather spoke to her like a language of secrets and inspired the repetitious theme and process in her work. In this heartfelt conversation we talk about the relationship of the artist and their studio, geographical moves, and the unexpected challenges caused by the pandemic.
