Matthew Namie is an artist who works in fashion, painting, typography, dance and hat design. We discuss the beauty of being a slow cooker and the value of listening to your intuition-it could be a matter of life and death. He also dives into the beauty of doing your work for yourself and stepping away from the limelight to allow for creative expression to run wild without the eyes of others, How Agnes Martin inspires his work and how privacy can allow for creative risks no one could plan or anticipate. We also discuss the beauty of the Napoleonic era and repurposing vintage furs to bring new power to things that have been temporarily forgotten.
