99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what it feels like in my city all the time: super tense.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What’s gonna happen?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You should do quick steps there, and then

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How is the beat studio?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Booh!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What up!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You gonna carry it sexy

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Four years ago this whole floor was just one empty space

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There was no plumbing there was no heaters, there was no electrical

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Does it look level to you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lucky for me, I got it grant and I partitioned to move it out

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
some of it is rented to other artists.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I curved out a space for myself that was way bigger than I ever dreamt

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was taking on too much in figuring out how to amake it happen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's real. It works. Sort of.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I first moved to NY, my studio was maybe 700 sq feet

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I made sculptures within inches of the walls, it was really difficult,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Especially for the work that I made. It taugh me how to be efficient,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how to save space, how to save money and especially how to save time.

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.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Voici la nouvelle sculpture de Diana

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Elle a deux mois pour la finir, pour une exhibition.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ouaih!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This past year I had a pretty fast growth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It just impossible to do this alone on this scale.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Do you have a bucket for me? Yes!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, now I have assistants that help me make these things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tout le monde a un surnom au studio

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
DrewDack "dessinait beaucoup étant petit"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
DrewDudak--"Dessinait Beaucoup Quand Il Était Petit"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
YejiLee--"Yejisauk"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
SarahFaitell--"Fatal"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's also why I have a studio manager to allocate different tasks to people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
now I can focus on something that requires my attention.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Working on a set this large is amazing, it’s so much fun

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I was first working for her I was her only assistant.

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.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It might just be that one rod.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You are great
