June 08, 2021#23 Space: What I've learned from living in small spaces and now having a bigger studio spaceThis episode was inspired by a listener question about what it's been like for me living in small spaces. So this dose I talk about my various unconventional living arrangements and what I've learned from living in small spaces. I also talk about what is shifting in me now that I have a--bigger than ever-- physical space in which to create. I also touch on more metaphorical uses of the word "space".

May 18, 2021#20 Am I my Mother’s Keeper?
