Schmooze

During the whole process of setting up our group show, 'Dissonance', at the black lodge, I had the privilege of meeting Evita Cortez and Darius Goodson. They are two artist who you can tell sincerely love what they do because of how committed they are to nurturing new art.
During our first meeting I got to explain my medium and my work and they shared a lot about the history of the venue and their work in the art world.
During installation I got to talk to Evita about one of my pieces she had liked, it made me feel a lot more at ease knowing she enjoyed my work. My main fear when it comes to my work is it being too kitschy but often times me trying to be not kitschy is just as destructive. My experience with The Black Lodge has helped me relax when composing my drawings and taught me to think more about space when speaking.
