AND WE TALK WITH A MENTEE TURNED MENTOR.

IT HAD AND MORE RIGHT NOW ON BROAD & HIGH.

WELCOME TO BROAD & HIGH, I'M YOUR HOST, KATE QUICKEL.

WE START THIS EPISODE IN THE KITCHEN, WHERE WE LEARN ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION THAT STARTED AS A COMMITTEE TO BRING COLUMBUS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA TO THE DEDICATION OF DUBLIN'S SCIOTO PARK, WHICH IS NOW THE LOCATION OF ONE OF IT'S WEEKLY SERIES.

AND OF COURSE, WE'LL MAKE A QUICK BITE.

[ MUSIC ] JOINING ME IN THE KITCHEN TODAY IS RAYGAN BARRETT FROM DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> OF COURSE.

SO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL COUNCIL?

>> DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL IS A NON- PROFIT.

WE HAVE A SMALL AND MIGHTY TEAM THAT IS CENTERED AROUND OUR MISSION TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, CULTIVATE CREATIVITY, AND FOSTER LIFELONG LEARNING THROUGH THE ARTS.

>> WONDERFUL.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ALL OF THAT.

>> YEAH.

WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO WORK OUT OF A BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC HOME, ALONG THE RIVER, SURROUNDED BY NATURE, SO IT'S A GREAT SPACE TO ENJOY ART AND NATURE TOGETHER.

ON OUR GROUNDS, WE HAVE PUBLIC ART THAT YOU CAN VISIT INSIDE.

WE HAVE THREE GALLERY SPACES, AND WE HAVE EXHIBITIONS THAT ROTATE ABOUT EVERY SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS WITH LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS.

>> WHAT AN INCREDIBLE RESOURCE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

>> YEAH.

WE ALSO HAVE AN ART LOUNGE THAT'S NEW TO US, WHERE PEOPLE COULD COME AND SPEND TIME MAKING ART TOGETHER.

THEN IN OUR LOWER LEVEL, WE HAVE A CERAMIC STUDIO WHERE THE DUB LICK CERAMIC ARTISTS CREATE ART EVERY DAY.

>> THAT ALL SOUNDS AMAZING.

I'M SO EXCITED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL, BUT I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHAT THESE DELICIOUS INGREDIENTS ARE GOING TO TURN INTO.

CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE RECIPE?

>> YES, TODAY WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A SKILLET GARDEN FOCACCIA BREAD.

I LOVE THIS RECIPE BECAUSE YOU CAN CHANGE IT UP, ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR GARDEN.

YOU CAN HAVE DIFFERENT FLAVORS, THAT KIND OF THING.

IT'S REALLY FRESH AND EASY.

>> SOUNDS AMAZING.

>> THE INGREDIENTS WE'LL NEED TODAY, TWO CUPS OF ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR.

ONE AND A HALF TEASPOON OF SEA SALT.

ONE TABLESPOON OF HONEY.

TWO TEASPOONS OF INSTANT YEAST.

THREE-FOURTH CUP OF VIRGIN OLIVE OIL.

PETITE VARIETY MEDLEY SNACKING TOMATOES, ONION, AND HERBS FROM YOUR GARDEN.

>> IT HAD SOUNDS DELICIOUS.

BEFORE WE DIVE IN, TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL IS EXPLORING ART BEYOND ITS WALL?

>> PUBLIC ART IS DEFINITELY THE HEART OF OUR MISSION AT DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL.

WE BELIEVE PUBLIC ART SHOULD INSPIRE QUESTIONS, CREATE DISCOVERY, AND JUST CURIOSITY.

PROGRAM BEGAN IN 1988, AND NOW AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE ABOUT 60 PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY PIECES IN OUR COLLECTION.

>> I'M THRILLED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PUBLIC ARTS PROGRAM.

I ALSO WANT TO GET STARTED HERE.

SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE THE DOUGH FOR THE FOCACCIA FIRST, RIGHT?

>> YES.

SO I USUALLY START WITH THE WATER.

>> THIS IS KIND OF A SIMPLE DOUGH?

>> YES.

>> THEN THE HONEY.

YOU CAN GET --I PREFER LOCAL HONEY, BUT ANY HONEY WILL DO.

>> OKAY, WHATEVER YOU HAVE ON HAND.

>> YEAH.

>> I LOVE INSTANT YEAST, YOU KNOW, NO BIG TIME WAITING.

>> THE YEAST.

THEN KIND OF STIR IT ALL UP.

ONCE IT'S KIND OF MIXED TOGETHER, YOU CAN ADD IN THE FLOUR.

>> GO AHEAD AND ADD IN THE FLOUR?

>> YES, OKAY.

HERE COMES OUR FLOUR.

TRY NOT TO DUST YOU.

>> AND THEN MAYBE THE OLIVE OIL.

>> OKAY.

HERE COMES OUR LITTLE OLIVE OIL.

YOU JUST KIND OF STIR IT UNTIL IT COMES TOGETHER?

>> YEAH, IT WILL START COMING TOGETHER.

SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO GET IN THERE AND USE YOUR HAND OR WHATEVER.

KIND OF GET THE DOUGH ALTOGETHER.

>> OKAY.

WHAT WILL BE NEXT?

DO WE NEED TO KNEAD IT OR ANYTHING?

>> YES, SO I'LL KIND OF COME IN HERE WITH MY HAND AND GET IT INTO A BALL.

>> OKAY.

>> THEN WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO COVER IT AND LET IT RISE.

>> NICE.

>> YEAH.

GOT TO HAVE A LITTLE PATIENCE?

>> YEAH.

>> I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T REALLY MESS THIS UP, YOU KNOW?

>> YOU CAN'T.

THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS RECIPE.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND EASY.

>> I THINK PEOPLE CAN BE INTIMIDATED BY HOMEMADE BREAD AND DOUGH?

>> YES.

>> IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE.

>> THERE WE GO.

WE HAVE IT ALL IN A BALL.

>> COVER IT UP AND LET IT REST?

>> YES.

>> PERFECT.

>> YEAH.

[ MUSIC ] ALL RIGHT, RAYGAN, WHILE OUR DOUGH IS RISING.

TELL US ABOUT OTHER WAYS FOLKS CAN EXPERIENCE ART THROUGH THE DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL?

>> YEAH, WE INVITE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO ENGAGE WITH THE ARTS AND THEIR COMMUNITY, THROUGH THE PARKS, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND UNEXPECTED PLACES.

FOR INSTANCE, OUR RIVER BOX PROGRAM.

IT'S ARTIST CREATIVE VESSELS WITH INSPIRED BY GEO CASHING.

>> TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT.

HOW DOES THAT WORK?

>> IT IS KIND OF LIKE CLUES AND TREASURE HUNTS.

AND THEN THEY COLLECT ALL THE RIVER BOXES TO GET A STAMP.

THEN AT THE END, YOU COLLECT A PRIZE.

>> IT IS FUN FOR KIDS AND KIDS WITH HEARTS?

>> DEFINITELY.

>> WE ALSO HAVE ART BOXES THAT ARE ALL THROUGHOUT DUBLIN.

WE HAVE EIGHT ART BOXES, AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT FREE ART SUPPLY AND ACTIVITIES FOR ANYBODY TO EXPLORE.

>> WOW, SO PEOPLE SORT OF STUMBLE UPON THEM AND CREATE IN THE MOMENT?

>> YES.

ABSOLUTELY.

>> THAT'S AMAZING.

>> YEAH.

SOMETIMES WE HIRE DIFFERENT ARTISTS TO HELP THEM, SO PEOPLE CAN LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT ARTS IN THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET THEM OUT AND MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AT.

>> WILL AND NOT FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO PLAN IT?

>> YEAH.

>> I STUMBLE UPON WHAT THEY NEED TO CREATE.

I LOVE THAT.

IT'S AMAZING.

OKAY, LOOK AT THIS DOUGH.

SO WE MOVED HERE FROM THE PAN AND LET IT RISE AGAIN, AND NOW IT'S READY FOR US TO EMBELLISH IT?

>> YES.

YOU CAN MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY.

>> I'M EXCITED.

>> I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF POLK AROUND.

SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TRY.

IT JUST MAKES IT KIND OF THERE A LITTLE BIT.

>> GIVING THE DIVETS FOR THE OIL TO GO IN?

>> YES.

I LIKE TO DRIZZLE A LITTLE OIL ON TOP AGAIN BEFORE I PUT OTHER THINGS ON.

>> I FEEL THE FOCACCIA HAS THAT CRUNCH.

THE OIL GIVES IT THAT?

>> YES.

>> I LOVE THAT.

THEN WE CAN EMBELLISH WITH SOME OF THE THINGS.

I KIND OF MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY.

>> OKAY.

>> LIKE A MOSAIC?

>> YEAH.

>> GET CREATIVE.

>> YEAH.

SO THEY CAN ADD THINGS.

>> YES.

SO YES.

THEN THEY CAN KIND OF PULL SOME OF THE HERBS.

WE HAVE BASIL AND OREGANO HERE.

KIND OF PUT THEM RIGHT ON LIKE THAT.

>> OH WOW.

FULL LEAF, OKAY.

>> ALREADY, IT'S STUNNING.

>> YEAH, IT'S REALLY PRETTY.

[ MUSIC ] >> HOW DO YOU FEEL?

>> THAT LOOKS GOOD.

>> LESS IS MORE?

>> YES.

IN THE END, I WOULD SPRINKLE WITH MORE SALT TO GIVE IT THAT SALTY, SWEET KIND OF FLAVOR.

>> THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL ALREADY.

HOW LONG DO WE BAKE THIS?

>> PUT IT IN THE OVEN FOR 450 ABOUT 25 MINUTES.

>> OKAY, LET'S DO IT.

IT'S OUR WORK OF ART.

[ MUSIC ] OKAY, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE ONCE IT'S BAKED.

WHILE WE WAIT, TELL ME ABOUT SUNDAYS.

>> SUNDAY THE A SCIOTO PARK AT THE AMPHITHEATER.

SO IT'S A WONDERFUL EVENT, WHERE FAMILIES CAN COME AND BRING PICNICS.

THIS YEAR WE WILL HAVE AN ART MAKING SPACE AS WELL.

>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUN.

IS IT ALL KINDS OF MUSIC?

>> YES, IT IS ALL DIFFERENT KINDS.

EACH WEEK, WE HAVE A DIFFERENT ARTIST, WE HAVE AN OPENER EACH WEEK AS WELL.

YOU CAN CHECK OUR WEBSITE TO FIND OUT THE LINEUP.

IT'S DUBLINARTS.ORG.

>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BLAST.

I LOVE OUTDOOR CONCERTS.

THAT SOUNDS FUN.

[ MUSIC ] >> LOOK WHAT WE MADE.

>> I KNOW.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

>> IT'S GORGEOUS.

IT IS SO GOLDEN BROWN AND THE COLOR, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING CREATIVE WITH THE HERBS AND THE VEGETABLES.

>> THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT.

>> THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH ME BECAUSE IT DOES SMELL AMAZING.

WHAT IS ONE MORE THING YOU WANT FOLKS TO KNOW ABOUT?

>> I THINK IT IS THAT WE REALLY TAKE ART BEYOND THE GALLERY WALLS AND INTO THE COMMUNITY AND MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AT.

>> THAT'S WONDERFUL.

>> THANKS FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

SHOULD WE GIVE THIS A TRY?

>> YES, LET'S DO IT.

>> IT'S SO GOOD.

>> TO LEARN MORE, CHECK OUT DUBLINARTS.ORG.

>> ADELINE SHIVERS-MAZZEI IS ONE OF MANY ARTISTS WHO HAS FOUND SUPPORT AND PURPOSE THROUGH THE DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL.

AS A COMIC BOOK ARTIST AND ILLUSTRATOR, ADELINE USES HER VOICE TO TELL STORIES THAT ARE VERY RELATABLE.

WE MET UP WITH ADELINE IN THE YELLOWSPRINGS STUDIO OF HER MENTOR THAT SHE MET DURING THE WORKSHOP AT THE DUBLIN ARTS COUNCIL.

>> I CAN DO REALISM.

IT TAKES ME A LITTLE BIT OF TIME BECAUSE I'M MESSY, BUT I'M ALSO A PERFECTIONIST AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IS A REALLY WEIRD COMBO TO HAVE.

I ENJOY CARTOONING.

I THINK IT'S MORE FUN.

I THINK YOU CAN GET A LOT MORE WITH CARTOONING.

LIKE YOU CAN COMMUNICATE EMOTIONS MORE LIKE EFFECTIVELY AND LIKE SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE AS YOU CAN GET THE SAME FROM IT JUST FROM THE EXPRESSIONS YOU'RE PUTTING ON PAPER.

THESE ARE FROM THIRD GRADE, I THINK IS WHEN I MADE THEM.

I THINK THERE'S FOUR ISSUES, EXCEPT THE FOURTH ONE NEVER GOT FINISHED.

IT GOT STARTED.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I MADE THESE.

I THINK IT WAS JUST FOR FUN AND SILLY.

IT WAS LIKE THE GIRL'S MOM GETS ABDUCTED BY ALIENS, AND INSTEAD SHE BUILDS A ROCKET OUT OF RANDOM MATERIALS SHE HAS LYING AROUND.

THEN SHE FLIES TO, YOU KNOW, THE ALIEN PLANET.

GOES ON THIS CRAZY ADVENTURE TO GET HER MOM BACK.

AND THEN IT IS JUST LIKE THIS --I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW I CAME UP WITH IT, BUT IT IS HER ADVENTURE.

>> IN THE ASSIGNMENT I DID FOR MY APR CLASS AT SCHOOL.

WE WERE SUPPOSE TO DO LIKE A POSTER FOR OUR SCHOOL CAFE THING CALLED THE KINDNESS CAFE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I DID IT THE WAY I DID IT.

IT WAS ONE MORNING I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WE HAD TWO WEEKS TO DO IT.

I WAS LIKE OH GOD, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

AND THEN LIKE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE, I WAS LIKE OH, YOU KNOW WHAT WILL BE A CUTE IDEA?

IF IT WAS ART, LIKE YOU KNOW, HISTORICAL ART PIECES, BUT THEY'RE HAVING A TEA PARTY BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO THE CAFE, AND I THOUGHT THE IDEA WAS REALLY CUTE.

I HAD TWO WEEKS TO DO IT, AND OF COURSE, I DID IT THE NIGHT BEFORE.

>> DUBLIN ARTS FOR ME HAS BEEN IN MY LIFE IN LIKE A WEIRD WAY BECAUSE I USED TO TAKE ART CLASSES THERE WHEN I WAS LITTLE.

DUBLIN ARTS KIND OF HELPED ME TAKE OFF WITH MY ART AND WITH MY CAREER AND GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE TO SAVE AND PUT MY ART ON DISPLAY FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE IN PERSON.

THIS IS BRYAN MOSS.

I MET HIM THROUGH THEM BECAUSE I WENT TO A COUPLE OF HIS WORKSHOPS.

>> THAT IS SO FUNNY.

YEAH, IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS BECAUSE MY DAD IS THE SAME WAY BECAUSE HE'S FROM FLORIDA.

>> HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW IF I DIDN'T MEET HIM AND WORK WITH HIM.

I MEAN, WHILE WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER, I'VE PUBLISHED AND I'VE GAINED MORE CONFIDENCE IN TALKING TO PEOPLE AND LIKE MAKING MORE ART AND NOT BEING SELF-CONSCIOUS.

IT HAS HELPED ME GROW MORE AS A PERSON, BUT ESPECIALLY AS AN ARTIST, SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY, REALLY COOL.

I FEEL IT'S A VERY ARTIST THING TO DRAW YOURSELF A LOT BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I DO.

I LOVE DRAWING STUFF LIKE ME OR STUFF I'VE ALREADY DONE OR STUFF I'VE EXPERIENCED.

I LOVE DOING THAT.

IF I HUNG OUT WITH MY FRIEND AND I LOVE DRAWING THAT AND SHOWING IT TO THEM LIKE OH MY GOSH, IT'S US.

SO YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

I LIKE DRAWING WEIRD LITTLE CARTOONS.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW.

I LIKE CREATING STUFF EVERYBODY CAN ENJOY.

I LIKE BRIBING PEOPLE, MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY.

MY DREAM WOULD PROBABLY BE, I WANT TO MAKE ART AND BE HAPPY.

I KNOW THAT'S REALLY SIMPLE.

IT'S BEEN MY GOAL.

OTHER THAN ART, I'VE NEVER REALLY KNOWN WHAT I WANTED TO DO, BUT I WANTED TO BE HAPPY.

I WANTED TO WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND FEEL LIKE GREAT, TODAY WILL BE ANOTHER FANTASTIC DAY, HERE IS WHY, AND I KNOW I'M DOING SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE ME HAPPY AND HOPEFULLY OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY, WHICH MAKES ME MORE HAPPY.

SO I GUESS THAT'S THE SIMPLE VERSION OF WHAT I WANT TO DO >> TO SEE HER LATEST CREATION, FIND ADELINE ON INSTAGRAM AT WORM AGEDDON.

>> NEXT, WE PULL FROM THE ARCHIVES A STORY WITH ADELINE'S MENTOR, BRYAN CHRISTOPHER MOSS.

ONCE A MENTEE OF COLUMBUS ICON, AMINAH ROBINSON, BRYAN TALKS ABOUT HIS BEGINNINGS AND THE TIME HE SPENT IN HER HOUSE.

>> HOW MANY COMIC BOOKS DO I OWN?

I OWN 20 BOOK SHELVES OF GRAPHIC NOVELS.

I THINK I MIGHT OPEN A LIBRARY ONE DAY.

SO I WAS BORN IN 1981 ON THE SOUTH END OF COLUMBUS, BORN AND RAISED.

NOW THAT I REFLECT BACK ON IT, I GREW UP REALLY POOR.

WHEN YOU SAY IT, IT SOUNDS TRIGGERING, BUT ACTUALLY I LEARNED A LOT.

THAT'S HOW I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO ART THROUGH A PROCESS.

THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED AND UNDERSTOOD I WAS GOING TO BE AN ARTIST.

AFTER THAT, IT IS MORE OF DRAWING, DRAWING, DRAWING, JUST NON-STOP AND OBSESSED WITH IT.

AND THAT IS WHEN IT SHIFTED, SO I WAS DRAWING THEM ALL THE TIME.

WHEN THEY CALLED ME, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IF MANY DESIGNING?

I WAS LIKE YEAH.

THEN I WAS LIKE WE SHOULD DO THREE.

IT'S LIKE A COLLECTIVE THING.

NOW, I HAVE A LOT TO YOU GUYS, BUT I WOULD DESIGN SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

AND EVEN FROM WHEN I WAS A KID.

WHAT I REALLY HAVE A LOT OF PASSION ABOUT IS MAKING PRODUCTS COOL.

AND SO WE DEVELOPED A NARRATIVE FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE ORIGINAL, THE FOUNDER, IT SHOWS THE FIRST LOCATION WITH THE FIRST GIFT CARD LOOKS LIKE.

SO YEAH, THIS IS ALL MY NARRATIVE AND MY STORY TELLING I CAME UP WITH.

OBVIOUSLY ME THERE, AT THE END, AS ANY GREAT RENAISSANCE PAINTER WOULD DO, WHICH IS INCLUDE THEMSELVES INTO THE MASTERPIECE.

SO IF YOU GET A CHANCE, LOOK FOR THEM, YOU KNOW?

FOR ME, LIFTING UP OTHER PEOPLE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH MY WORK.

I WOULD SAY IT IS A VERY CRITICAL PART OF WHAT I DO.

THE MURAL I RECENTLY COMPLETED WAS ONE, THE ONE AND ONLY.

IT IS A LAW FIRM ON MAINE.

HANINE IS A WRITER, A FAMOUS WRITER.

WE WENT TO MIDDLE SCHOOL TOGETHER.

THERE IS A BIT OF AN AGE DIFFERENCE, BUT THERE IS THIS INDIRECT RELATIONSHIP THAT WE'VE ALWAYS HAD.

THE COOL THING ABOUT IT, HE STAYED.

THAT BUILDS UP COLUMBUS.

WE ENDED UP CALLING THE PEOPLE'S MURAL BECAUSE OF HOW THE COMMUNITY GOT BEHIND IT.

PROCESS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE MURAL WAS TO SHOW THE MOSAIC.

A REASON I WENT TO INJECT A LOT OF COLOR OF IT.

SETTING THE EYES ON THE PEOPLE WHO HOLD YOU UP AND SIMPLY IMAGINING THEM.

THE IDEA OF THIS IS WHERE THE CHARACTERS OF THE BACKGROUND, AND THESE ARE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY TOO.

I PUT THEM ALL ON BLACK AND WHITE.

I PUT THEM IN COLOR BECAUSE WE REALIZE WE'RE ISOLATED.

SINCE WE THINK WE'RE ISOLATED AND IT IS NOT THE CASE.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT US, LIKE HERE.

BUT JUST GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, YOU GET LOST AND IT IS PRETTY EXHAUSTING, SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF PERSONAL MEETING LINES.

SO IN THE SUMMER OF 2020, I MOVE INTO ROBINSON'S HOME THROUGH THE MUSEUM OF ART.

NOW, WHAT I SERVED AS THE MANAGER, THERE IS KIND OF A DUALITY TO IT.

I MET AMINAH ROBINSON WHEN I STARTED IN MAY OF 2001.

SO IT HAD A HIGHER PURPOSE FOR ME.

IT'S A MUSEUM SPACE.

IT'S STILL THERE AND THE ENERGY IS THERE.

PROBABLY THE LEAST ART PRODUCTIVE I WAS, BUT THE MOST HEALING PROCESS I'VE HAD.

I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN, AND LIKE ACTUALLY RELAX.

BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENCY, NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE FINANCES AND STUFF.

IT'S THE ONLY SPACE, WHERE I COULD REALLY FLY OR I COULD JUST DO WHATEVER I WANT.

THE ONE THING THEY SAID TO ME THAT RESONATES WITH ME TODAY, KEEP DRAWING, DON'T STOP DRAWING.

AT THE TIME, THEY WOULD SAY DON'T TELL ME THAT.

I WOULD NEVER STOP DRAWING.

BUT THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS LIFE HAPPENS.

LIFE OCCURS.

THEN AS YOU GET OLDER, DRAWING BECOMES HARDER.

SO THAT MESSAGE, HAS MORE IMPORTANCE TO ME NOW THAN WHEN SHE TOLD ME THAT WHEN I WAS 22 YEARS OLD, YOU KNOW?

YES, THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

THE WORDS ON THE PAGE, THE ACTORS, WE WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE SOMETHING BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS.

I LOVE REHEARSALS TO WORK AND REWORK.

A MOMENT TO BRING OUT DIFFERENT FLAVORS AND NUANCES.

ENERGY IS ELECTRIC.

I SEE THEM GROW INTO A CITY WHERE THEY ARE MOVED BY AND SUPPORTED BY ONE ANOTHER.

AFTER THEY ARE INFORMED AND TRANSFORMED BY ONE ANOTHER.

THEATER IS MY ART, AND THERE IS NO PLACE I'D RATHER MAKE IT.
