"How does a young couple make room for their individual desires, their evolving selfhoods, and their artistic ambitions while building a life together?"

In one of the most in-depth conversations detailing an artist’s studio practice I've recorded to date, Ethan and I discuss both the methods and mindset that go into developing a complete body of artwork.

Andrianna speaks in-depth about her writing and curatorial practice.

Amir and I discuss how issues of identity manifest in his painting and daily life, his family's immigration into the United States from Iran, as well as running a successful studio and surviving as an artist.

Dave and I discuss issues of appropriation in art, making ends meet as a full time artist, support systems artists build to survive the ups and downs of the art market, living with addiction and achieving sobriety.

Jason speaks about his childhood and adolescence leading him into the world of graffiti and art. We discuss the importance of community, aspects of commodity within the art world, and how the value systems of our society have the potential to disenfranchise artists.

Anna speaks about the various directions her practice has taken over the last twenty years, understanding her place within the work, and realizing that her goal wasn't just to show in a gallery space or an art fair. We talk about the influence that peers and mentors can have on an artist as one's career extends over a period of time.

Waraire and I discuss how perseverance, family and friends have helped him build a business. We also speak to the role fashion plays in helping individuals represent themselves and attain their goals in life.
