these awesome art books

00:26

okay

00:29

yeah

00:30

like having a side

00:36

and

00:39

clarify things

00:43

okay so what's your nor Baxter

00:54

our friends

00:57

I studied printmaking sorry

01:02

that's awesome yeah come on don't even

01:06

peacocks

01:09

I don't even hit like I

01:18

I just started this

01:25

[Laughter]

01:28

so how would you say that this

01:35

practice

01:40

tell me about that dance yeah why I

01:43

think it's just like it's almost like

01:46

having

01:51

small like

01:54

that

01:56

things to me

02:02

so they're kind of like

02:10

and so for you the final thing would be

02:12

like

02:13

[Music]

02:22

it's interesting I almost collection

02:25

artist by trade and I hope this I like

02:30

oh yeah ya think you're like you're like

02:35

archives of your installation

02:37

yeah yeah so uh what would you say is

02:45

like the most useful tool that you found

02:48

and it could be like a physical tool or

02:51

it could be like a carpool

02:54

yeah one it's just about

02:59

like what makes it so I don't have to

03:01

rely

03:01

other people

03:04

so I guess easy

03:10

[Music]

03:11

you

03:13

like a CNN pay

03:22

and I was really excited about

03:26

just like things like that where I can

03:29

be in my own space and actually

03:37

yeah

03:41

so what would you say he has been the

03:45

biggest statement

03:48

not giving right

03:53

there's just like you need to like

03:55

really

03:57

see your project through and I really

03:59

we make a project for a deadline and

04:04

in that

04:12

so all these small things

04:19

I found it like whenever I think that

04:24

like when we hit roadblocks and we saw

04:27

cooperation the collaboration it was

04:29

really easy to build that momentum back

04:33

because the other person usually had the

04:35

answer first we didn't know where we

04:39

were

04:41

yeah it was like like we were trying to

04:44

build a Rolodex out of paper

04:48

yeah and we're like what do we do

04:51

and like I came up with like the folding

04:55

visit but then I was like oh okay we

05:00

came up with the origami but like then

05:02

Danielle worked out a lot of the

05:04

findings actually yeah and then is like

05:10

coming tonight show them yeah this is it

05:12

yeah yeah look at this dope oh it's good

05:18

so there's like that and you pulled it

05:21

up I mean like serrated some pieces you

05:24

can tear off the corners and stuff yeah

05:26

all like folds into each other

05:28

awesome

05:30

I know you as well you have your

05:34

motivation of making this for larger

05:37

installations I write it right up a tree

05:41

and I a lot of works though just get

05:47

dusty and never turn into anything so it

05:49

was really cool to work with Danielle

05:53

and like just like get the product out

05:56

there yeah so I know so you said that

06:00

this is very much about influencing your

06:03

like

06:03

main practice which of course I mean to

06:06

me but would you say that

06:15

[Music]

06:19

yeah definitely I mean I think that was

06:21

like a large part like wanting to start

06:24

us because then it's like immediately

06:27

the product

06:30

that was kind of like and like there's

06:34

just easier ways to tap into getting

06:36

your work

06:41

and I know that like everyone whatever

06:44

they start publishing art books they

06:46

kind of get bit by this a lot of harsh

06:48

realities

06:50

their work and you've been doing this

06:52

for 10 years so you know what son

06:55

some advice that you have

06:57

trying to start out

07:00

yeah I mean I've only been doing this

07:02

for them okay but like I've been making

07:05

but yet this part I mean I think I'm

07:09

still learning that's the thing you know

07:11

so

07:16

I think it's like just about finding

07:17

tricks too

07:21

the production and like that's why I

07:24

tried to like make them all myself but

07:26

that requires time too so it's like a

07:29

balance between

07:30

[Music]

07:32

I actually emailed and called customer

07:37

service at rolodex to try to get some

07:39

free rolodexes to cut the costs and they

07:42

said they'll do their best but they're

07:44

not doing very well financially sitting

07:46

giving

07:47

and then we but then we figured it out

07:51

and this wasn't that expensive hey came

07:54

out it looks amazing yeah that's all so

08:01

so what something that would be like a

08:05

dream project

08:10

well I mean I think that's why I'm doing

08:12

this because like that is

08:15

work with other people

08:18

coming up with the best solution

08:23

[Music]

08:31

so what what book would you really what

08:33

book would you recommend right now

08:34

anyone really catching your eye

08:37

I don't know I mean I always like

08:40

08:44

bunch of short stories

08:48

08:51

[Music]
