Today, I’m joined by Chris Watts, aka The Creationist. Chris is a San Francisco-based visual artist and recipient for The SF Guaranteed Income Pilot for Artists, a stipend program powered by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts that makes no-strings-attached cash payments to artists who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Chris and I discuss how participating in the program has made a difference in his life and his ability to practice his art. We also touch on the nature of his recent work and how he conveys a sense of peace through his unique hieroglyphs. 

Topics Covered:

●     Why Chris goes by the name ‘The Creationist’

●     How Chris found out about The SF Guaranteed Income Pilot for Artists and went about the application process 

●     The future of the program, including international iterations 

●     How having a steady income has helped Chris realize his broader artistic vision 

●     Background on how Chris created his own hieroglyphic alphabet
