0:00:00.000,0:00:02.417
(soft music)

0:00:06.848,0:00:10.015
(soft ethereal music)

0:00:12.958,0:00:16.200
- You know when you have[br]dreams that you're in a house,

0:00:16.200,0:00:18.363
it's often the parts of your psyche.

0:00:21.060,0:00:23.430
And the different rooms[br]are different places

0:00:23.430,0:00:25.507
in your mind and your spirit.

0:00:25.507,0:00:28.613
(soft ethereal music)

0:00:28.613,0:00:33.150
A reoccurring place that[br]represents the parts of ourselves

0:00:33.150,0:00:35.643
or different times of our lives.

0:00:35.643,0:00:39.570
(soft ethereal music)

0:00:39.570,0:00:42.690
As we come to the rooms in this exhibit,

0:00:42.690,0:00:44.910
your shadow is cast on the wall,

0:00:44.910,0:00:47.790
and we begin with the[br]awareness of our bodies

0:00:47.790,0:00:49.800
and our impact in that space.

0:00:49.800,0:00:52.967
(soft ethereal music)

0:00:59.220,0:01:01.966
I would ask people to enter into the space

0:01:01.966,0:01:04.020
with the kind of reverence[br]that we would enter

0:01:04.020,0:01:07.045
into our own psychological spaces,

0:01:07.045,0:01:10.563
that we would navigate[br]our own internal spaces.

0:01:12.000,0:01:13.831
Even if that sensitivity

0:01:13.831,0:01:17.561
isn't a comfortable neural pathway,

0:01:17.561,0:01:18.665
we can build one.

0:01:18.665,0:01:20.091
This is how we start.

0:01:20.091,0:01:23.258
(soft ethereal music)

0:01:37.560,0:01:38.393
Cool.

0:01:39.600,0:01:40.590
Yes.

0:01:40.590,0:01:43.410
Start with a little dash of orange.

0:01:43.410,0:01:47.070
I didn't know about the[br]Fabric Workshop before.

0:01:47.070,0:01:49.492
I was familiar with some[br]of their past projects,

0:01:49.492,0:01:51.780
but I didn't know the[br]whole scope of this place.

0:01:51.780,0:01:53.130
I'm just gonna keep going.[br]- Keep going.

0:01:53.130,0:01:54.882
- Just give a shape and I'll make it.[br]- That's perfect.

0:01:56.374,0:01:58.800
- They were just inviting[br]me to play, right?

0:01:58.800,0:02:01.936
They were like, what in[br]your practice do you feel

0:02:01.936,0:02:04.443
you don't really get to do as much?

0:02:05.550,0:02:07.170
Coming from Santa Clara,

0:02:07.170,0:02:09.600
I've only sort of played[br]around with fabric

0:02:09.600,0:02:10.863
for ceremonial stuff.

0:02:12.150,0:02:13.770
You can't participate

0:02:13.770,0:02:16.200
or have what you're supposed[br]to wear for ceremony

0:02:16.200,0:02:17.970
unless you make it yourself,

0:02:17.970,0:02:20.943
and so most people in the[br]tribe know how to sew.

0:02:22.950,0:02:25.473
Oh, dope, I like that one a lot.

0:02:26.760,0:02:27.750
Ah!

0:02:27.750,0:02:29.627
Okay, is it okay if I chop 'em?

0:02:29.627,0:02:30.810
- Yeah, chop them.

0:02:30.810,0:02:33.093
- This is like the funnest ever.

0:02:33.930,0:02:36.153
This is like Rose's bliss.

0:02:37.947,0:02:40.260
(soft ethereal music)

0:02:40.260,0:02:44.490
This show, it's like[br]sifting through your world

0:02:44.490,0:02:47.133
to find what is delicious and what isn't.

0:02:48.450,0:02:51.450
I wanna just shake it and[br]all the other stuff come out

0:02:51.450,0:02:53.120
and only the good stuff left.

0:02:53.120,0:02:55.887
(soft ethereal music)[br](machine whirring)

0:03:04.830,0:03:06.697
All right. What have we here?

0:03:08.173,0:03:11.340
(soft ethereal music)

0:03:21.030,0:03:24.056
So cool how it hardens up.

0:03:24.056,0:03:25.170
This is perfect.

0:03:25.170,0:03:27.284
I couldn't imagine a better morning.

0:03:27.284,0:03:30.451
(soft ethereal music)

0:03:33.210,0:03:36.270
I've invested so much outside of myself,

0:03:36.270,0:03:40.113
like I'm very much, I think,[br]giving my energy away.

0:03:41.670,0:03:45.150
This is a prayer that my life changes

0:03:45.150,0:03:49.290
and that I can make space for[br]the things I value for myself,

0:03:49.290,0:03:51.810
and those aesthetics that I value

0:03:51.810,0:03:53.490
are not just going out there in the world,

0:03:53.490,0:03:57.000
that they're coming back to[br]me and to my lived spaces.

0:03:57.000,0:04:00.557
(soft ethereal music)

0:04:00.557,0:04:02.760
I woke up from a dream this morning

0:04:02.760,0:04:05.420
that my clay had seeds in it.

0:04:08.550,0:04:10.320
- [Producer] Was that a scary dream?

0:04:10.320,0:04:11.510
- No, it was like...

0:04:14.880,0:04:16.980
I don't know, the metaphor is interesting.

0:04:20.104,0:04:22.860
I really like listening to my dreams.

0:04:22.860,0:04:26.662
Lots and lots of journeys,[br]like walking this path

0:04:26.662,0:04:29.722
that's like a familiar place.

0:04:29.722,0:04:32.889
(soft ethereal music)

0:04:36.830,0:04:39.270
When I travel, the first thing I think is,

0:04:39.270,0:04:41.580
geez, I wonder what this place looked like

0:04:41.580,0:04:46.580
before it was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

0:04:46.740,0:04:49.110
Like, who were the indigenous people?

0:04:49.110,0:04:51.712
What did the land feel like

0:04:51.712,0:04:55.830
and what were the languages[br]spoken and how did that sound?

0:04:55.830,0:04:56.760
I always think that,

0:04:56.760,0:05:01.293
and you can fall into[br]a really deep sadness.

0:05:04.491,0:05:07.893
And I can hold space for that[br]and be like, yes, I'm sad,

0:05:08.970,0:05:12.370
and I'm always really sad and[br]it's always really complicated

0:05:13.890,0:05:15.483
and it's like, yeah, and.

0:05:16.410,0:05:19.740
It hurts, and it's also now in the present

0:05:19.740,0:05:22.914
and we can find incredibly[br]beautiful things.

0:05:22.914,0:05:26.081
(soft ethereal music)

0:05:28.110,0:05:32.220
We give baskets with[br]gifts in the community.

0:05:32.220,0:05:34.620
Like if you do something nice[br]for somebody, you get baskets

0:05:34.620,0:05:37.128
and then you'll hang it up in your house,

0:05:37.128,0:05:39.990
and then if you need to[br]gift, then you have baskets.

0:05:39.990,0:05:42.951
So it keeps getting kind of moved around.

0:05:42.951,0:05:46.822
(soft ethereal music)

0:05:46.822,0:05:49.500
Some elders will have their whole ceiling

0:05:49.500,0:05:51.241
just covered in baskets.

0:05:51.241,0:05:54.408
(soft ethereal music)

0:05:55.710,0:05:58.890
Your worth is based on[br]how much you can give

0:05:58.890,0:06:01.340
and how you're recognized[br]for the gifts you give.

0:06:03.720,0:06:07.249
We remove our shoes and we[br]can sit with each other.

0:06:07.249,0:06:12.177
And above us are paper bowls[br]that have stars in them

0:06:12.177,0:06:14.759
that create the ceiling of guidance.

0:06:14.759,0:06:19.020
And then below us are pillows[br]that have stars on them.

0:06:19.020,0:06:23.100
And so we're like... the comfort[br]of guidance is holding us

0:06:23.100,0:06:25.381
to give us a place to connect.

0:06:25.381,0:06:28.548
(soft ethereal music)

0:06:36.900,0:06:39.870
The layers of the rooms in this exhibit

0:06:39.870,0:06:44.870
are very much about boundaries[br]and how much I share

0:06:44.870,0:06:46.645
and how much I don't share.

0:06:46.645,0:06:51.645
(soft ethereal music)

0:06:55.278,0:06:57.932
I wanted people to see what[br]the walls were made out of,

0:06:57.932,0:07:01.290
which also provides an[br]incredible opportunity

0:07:01.290,0:07:04.015
to feel like you're in between the walls.

0:07:04.961,0:07:08.343
And it is like entering into[br]layers of the subconscious.

0:07:10.560,0:07:12.210
Then there was this deeper space

0:07:12.210,0:07:14.523
that you can only see a section of.

0:07:15.990,0:07:18.501
And there's actually parts of[br]the room no one will ever see.

0:07:18.501,0:07:21.668
(soft ethereal music)

0:07:30.861,0:07:35.520
My work is so much about giving back self

0:07:35.520,0:07:40.048
or consciousness to things[br]that we have deemed lifeless.

0:07:40.048,0:07:43.555
(soft ethereal music)

0:07:43.555,0:07:46.950
There are three masks in the work room

0:07:46.950,0:07:48.420
and in that sort of pressure,

0:07:48.420,0:07:50.550
you're sitting in the hot[br]seat, you're being watched

0:07:50.550,0:07:55.020
by more than we would ever[br]know, and that's supportive.

0:07:55.020,0:07:59.520
It's also probably a little[br]bit critical at times, right?

0:07:59.520,0:08:02.680
But how do you act when you know you have

0:08:03.690,0:08:07.083
this community that's larger[br]than what we perceive?

0:08:08.915,0:08:10.980
We're on this grind, right?

0:08:10.980,0:08:13.032
And it goes and goes and goes.

0:08:13.032,0:08:16.199
(soft ethereal music)

0:08:20.070,0:08:21.720
It's not necessarily a bad thing,

0:08:21.720,0:08:24.990
it's actually the[br]deliciousness of life, right?

0:08:24.990,0:08:25.823
This is it.

0:08:28.942,0:08:30.600
I wouldn't be doing this work

0:08:30.600,0:08:33.371
if it wasn't the thing that[br]I needed to learn the most.

0:08:33.371,0:08:35.542
(soft ethereal music)

0:08:35.542,0:08:38.410
And so everything that I do like this

0:08:39.360,0:08:42.292
hopefully is tipping the scale.

0:08:42.292,0:08:46.290
Every rock on this side where[br]my life becomes more conscious

0:08:46.290,0:08:50.455
and more intentional and more prayerful.

0:08:50.455,0:08:52.260
(soft ethereal music)

0:08:52.260,0:08:53.103
It's my goal.

0:08:54.600,0:08:55.617
It's my dream.

0:08:55.617,0:08:58.384
(soft ethereal music)
