S3-E8. Artist Reflection with T.H. Kainaros
Episode description
The anxiety of surprise to see someone else's interpretation of my work was a delight inside my body. This experience literally stunned me.
I felt connected to Tom because his method of approaching the blankness [of a canvas] is very similar to how I approach the blankness. I was able to give him more insight into who I am based on his illustration that he made based off something I wrote. Magical, and eerie. There are some very obvious things about me inside this illustration, and Tom and I only met one time before this. We don't know each other. We spoke the artist language between us; a language we are familiar with because of our work with the blankness. We related.
The benefit of this experience was genuine connection with another human. Our art allowed us to connect on a deeper level, because art does that. And it was lovely.
