“You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that’s
a great feeling.”
–Shaun White, three-time Olympic gold medalist in snowboarding and author
Failure can knock the wind out of us, scattering confidence across the floor. But there is something so powerful about choosing to get up anyway bruised, wiser, and more determined than before. Each setback carries a lesson, a subtle shift in balance and belief. When we try again, we aren’t starting from the same place, we’re starting from experience.
Ron Norsworthy spoke to us about American Dream, his recent exhibition at Edwynn Houk Gallery. A set designer by training, Norsworthy is very process oriented as an artist.
His work typically comes to him as spaces realized through dreams, memories, or ideas eventually becoming inhabited by figures who engage with them in some way. As he builds his collage pieces, he sources materials primarily from the internet. To learn more, listen to the complete interview.
Ye Zhu joined us to talk about Underbelly Bloom, his recent show at Dimin Gallery. Zhu considers his
practice predominantly process based. Working across many media, he is able to expand his language of painting to include textures, sheens, and even the meaning of objects. To hear more about his process and work, listen to the complete interview.
