1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is what it feels like in my city all the time: super tense.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What’s gonna happen?

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You should do quick steps there, and then

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
How is the beat studio?

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Booh!

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What up!

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You gonna carry it sexy

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Yeah

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Four years ago this whole floor was just one empty space

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There was no plumbing there was no heaters, there was no electrical

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Does it look level to you?

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lucky for me, I got it grant and I partitioned to move it out

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some of it is rented to other artists.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I curved out a space for myself that was way bigger than I ever dreamt

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was taking on too much in figuring out how to amake it happen.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's real. It works. Sort of.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When I first moved to NY, my studio was maybe 700 sq feet

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I made sculptures within inches of the walls, it was really difficult,

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Especially for the work that I made. It taugh me how to be efficient,

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
how to save space, how to save money and especially how to save time.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Cause no one helps me, and when you don’t have a lot of resources, you get sharp.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Voici la nouvelle sculpture de Diana

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Elle a deux mois pour la finir, pour une exhibition.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ouaih!

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This past year I had a pretty fast growth.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It just impossible to do this alone on this scale.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Do you have a bucket for me? Yes!

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, now I have assistants that help me make these things.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Tout le monde a un surnom au studio

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
DrewDack "dessinait beaucoup étant petit"

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
DrewDudak--"Dessinait Beaucoup Quand Il Était Petit"

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
YejiLee--"Yejisauk"

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
SarahFaitell--"Fatal"

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's also why I have a studio manager to allocate different tasks to people

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
now I can focus on something that requires my attention.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Working on a set this large is amazing, it’s so much fun

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When I was first working for her I was her only assistant.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I spent like 6 months working really closely with just her I learnt a lot about all different techniques.

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It might just be that one rod.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You are great
