1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,417
(soft music)

2
00:00:06,848 --> 00:00:10,015
(soft ethereal music)

3
00:00:12,958 --> 00:00:16,200
- You know when you have
dreams that you're in a house,

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,363
it's often the parts of your psyche.

5
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:23,430
And the different rooms
are different places

6
00:00:23,430 --> 00:00:25,507
in your mind and your spirit.

7
00:00:25,507 --> 00:00:28,613
(soft ethereal music)

8
00:00:28,613 --> 00:00:33,150
A reoccurring place that
represents the parts of ourselves

9
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:35,643
or different times of our lives.

10
00:00:35,643 --> 00:00:39,570
(soft ethereal music)

11
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:42,690
As we come to the rooms in this exhibit,

12
00:00:42,690 --> 00:00:44,910
your shadow is cast on the wall,

13
00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:47,790
and we begin with the
awareness of our bodies

14
00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:49,800
and our impact in that space.

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,967
(soft ethereal music)

16
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:01,966
I would ask people to enter into the space

17
00:01:01,966 --> 00:01:04,020
with the kind of reverence
that we would enter

18
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:07,045
into our own psychological spaces,

19
00:01:07,045 --> 00:01:10,563
that we would navigate
our own internal spaces.

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,831
Even if that sensitivity

21
00:01:13,831 --> 00:01:17,561
isn't a comfortable neural pathway,

22
00:01:17,561 --> 00:01:18,665
we can build one.

23
00:01:18,665 --> 00:01:20,091
This is how we start.

24
00:01:20,091 --> 00:01:23,258
(soft ethereal music)

25
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,393
Cool.

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,590
Yes.

27
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:43,410
Start with a little dash of orange.

28
00:01:43,410 --> 00:01:47,070
I didn't know about the
Fabric Workshop before.

29
00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:49,492
I was familiar with some
of their past projects,

30
00:01:49,492 --> 00:01:51,780
but I didn't know the
whole scope of this place.

31
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:53,130
I'm just gonna keep going.
- Keep going.

32
00:01:53,130 --> 00:01:54,882
- Just give a shape and I'll make it.
- That's perfect.

33
00:01:56,374 --> 00:01:58,800
- They were just inviting
me to play, right?

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,936
They were like, what in
your practice do you feel

35
00:02:01,936 --> 00:02:04,443
you don't really get to do as much?

36
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:07,170
Coming from Santa Clara,

37
00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:09,600
I've only sort of played
around with fabric

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,863
for ceremonial stuff.

39
00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:13,770
You can't participate

40
00:02:13,770 --> 00:02:16,200
or have what you're supposed
to wear for ceremony

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,970
unless you make it yourself,

42
00:02:17,970 --> 00:02:20,943
and so most people in the
tribe know how to sew.

43
00:02:22,950 --> 00:02:25,473
Oh, dope, I like that one a lot.

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,750
Ah!

45
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:29,627
Okay, is it okay if I chop 'em?

46
00:02:29,627 --> 00:02:30,810
- Yeah, chop them.

47
00:02:30,810 --> 00:02:33,093
- This is like the funnest ever.

48
00:02:33,930 --> 00:02:36,153
This is like Rose's bliss.

49
00:02:37,947 --> 00:02:40,260
(soft ethereal music)

50
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:44,490
This show, it's like
sifting through your world

51
00:02:44,490 --> 00:02:47,133
to find what is delicious and what isn't.

52
00:02:48,450 --> 00:02:51,450
I wanna just shake it and
all the other stuff come out

53
00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:53,120
and only the good stuff left.

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,887
(soft ethereal music)
(machine whirring)

55
00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:06,697
All right. What have we here?

56
00:03:08,173 --> 00:03:11,340
(soft ethereal music)

57
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:24,056
So cool how it hardens up.

58
00:03:24,056 --> 00:03:25,170
This is perfect.

59
00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:27,284
I couldn't imagine a better morning.

60
00:03:27,284 --> 00:03:30,451
(soft ethereal music)

61
00:03:33,210 --> 00:03:36,270
I've invested so much outside of myself,

62
00:03:36,270 --> 00:03:40,113
like I'm very much, I think,
giving my energy away.

63
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:45,150
This is a prayer that my life changes

64
00:03:45,150 --> 00:03:49,290
and that I can make space for
the things I value for myself,

65
00:03:49,290 --> 00:03:51,810
and those aesthetics that I value

66
00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:53,490
are not just going out there in the world,

67
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:57,000
that they're coming back to
me and to my lived spaces.

68
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,557
(soft ethereal music)

69
00:04:00,557 --> 00:04:02,760
I woke up from a dream this morning

70
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,420
that my clay had seeds in it.

71
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:10,320
- [Producer] Was that a scary dream?

72
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,510
- No, it was like...

73
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,980
I don't know, the metaphor is interesting.

74
00:04:20,104 --> 00:04:22,860
I really like listening to my dreams.

75
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:26,662
Lots and lots of journeys,
like walking this path

76
00:04:26,662 --> 00:04:29,722
that's like a familiar place.

77
00:04:29,722 --> 00:04:32,889
(soft ethereal music)

78
00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:39,270
When I travel, the first thing I think is,

79
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:41,580
geez, I wonder what this place looked like

80
00:04:41,580 --> 00:04:46,580
before it was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

81
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:49,110
Like, who were the indigenous people?

82
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:51,712
What did the land feel like

83
00:04:51,712 --> 00:04:55,830
and what were the languages
spoken and how did that sound?

84
00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:56,760
I always think that,

85
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,293
and you can fall into
a really deep sadness.

86
00:05:04,491 --> 00:05:07,893
And I can hold space for that
and be like, yes, I'm sad,

87
00:05:08,970 --> 00:05:12,370
and I'm always really sad and
it's always really complicated

88
00:05:13,890 --> 00:05:15,483
and it's like, yeah, and.

89
00:05:16,410 --> 00:05:19,740
It hurts, and it's also now in the present

90
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:22,914
and we can find incredibly
beautiful things.

91
00:05:22,914 --> 00:05:26,081
(soft ethereal music)

92
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:32,220
We give baskets with
gifts in the community.

93
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:34,620
Like if you do something nice
for somebody, you get baskets

94
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:37,128
and then you'll hang it up in your house,

95
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:39,990
and then if you need to
gift, then you have baskets.

96
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:42,951
So it keeps getting kind of moved around.

97
00:05:42,951 --> 00:05:46,822
(soft ethereal music)

98
00:05:46,822 --> 00:05:49,500
Some elders will have their whole ceiling

99
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:51,241
just covered in baskets.

100
00:05:51,241 --> 00:05:54,408
(soft ethereal music)

101
00:05:55,710 --> 00:05:58,890
Your worth is based on
how much you can give

102
00:05:58,890 --> 00:06:01,340
and how you're recognized
for the gifts you give.

103
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,249
We remove our shoes and we
can sit with each other.

104
00:06:07,249 --> 00:06:12,177
And above us are paper bowls
that have stars in them

105
00:06:12,177 --> 00:06:14,759
that create the ceiling of guidance.

106
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:19,020
And then below us are pillows
that have stars on them.

107
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:23,100
And so we're like... the comfort
of guidance is holding us

108
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:25,381
to give us a place to connect.

109
00:06:25,381 --> 00:06:28,548
(soft ethereal music)

110
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:39,870
The layers of the rooms in this exhibit

111
00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:44,870
are very much about boundaries
and how much I share

112
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:46,645
and how much I don't share.

113
00:06:46,645 --> 00:06:51,645
(soft ethereal music)

114
00:06:55,278 --> 00:06:57,932
I wanted people to see what
the walls were made out of,

115
00:06:57,932 --> 00:07:01,290
which also provides an
incredible opportunity

116
00:07:01,290 --> 00:07:04,015
to feel like you're in between the walls.

117
00:07:04,961 --> 00:07:08,343
And it is like entering into
layers of the subconscious.

118
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,210
Then there was this deeper space

119
00:07:12,210 --> 00:07:14,523
that you can only see a section of.

120
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:18,501
And there's actually parts of
the room no one will ever see.

121
00:07:18,501 --> 00:07:21,668
(soft ethereal music)

122
00:07:30,861 --> 00:07:35,520
My work is so much about giving back self

123
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,048
or consciousness to things
that we have deemed lifeless.

124
00:07:40,048 --> 00:07:43,555
(soft ethereal music)

125
00:07:43,555 --> 00:07:46,950
There are three masks in the work room

126
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:48,420
and in that sort of pressure,

127
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:50,550
you're sitting in the hot
seat, you're being watched

128
00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:55,020
by more than we would ever
know, and that's supportive.

129
00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:59,520
It's also probably a little
bit critical at times, right?

130
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,680
But how do you act when you know you have

131
00:08:03,690 --> 00:08:07,083
this community that's larger
than what we perceive?

132
00:08:08,915 --> 00:08:10,980
We're on this grind, right?

133
00:08:10,980 --> 00:08:13,032
And it goes and goes and goes.

134
00:08:13,032 --> 00:08:16,199
(soft ethereal music)

135
00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:21,720
It's not necessarily a bad thing,

136
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,990
it's actually the
deliciousness of life, right?

137
00:08:24,990 --> 00:08:25,823
This is it.

138
00:08:28,942 --> 00:08:30,600
I wouldn't be doing this work

139
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,371
if it wasn't the thing that
I needed to learn the most.

140
00:08:33,371 --> 00:08:35,542
(soft ethereal music)

141
00:08:35,542 --> 00:08:38,410
And so everything that I do like this

142
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,292
hopefully is tipping the scale.

143
00:08:42,292 --> 00:08:46,290
Every rock on this side where
my life becomes more conscious

144
00:08:46,290 --> 00:08:50,455
and more intentional and more prayerful.

145
00:08:50,455 --> 00:08:52,260
(soft ethereal music)

146
00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:53,103
It's my goal.

147
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,617
It's my dream.

148
00:08:55,617 --> 00:08:58,384
(soft ethereal music)
