Inside the Lines: video piece

Video Art Piece titled “Inside the Lines.” It’s a piece commenting about the first time we’re told “no.” When watching it, the first reaction is to say “stop!” but maybe there’s nothing wrong with coloring outside the lines.

  • Even though I’m an artist and adore art (um, who doesn’t?), the artwork in our home was always an afterthought. Adam and I moved in together 10 years ago and I am just now starting to choose our artwork more intentionally. I find myself choosing things that resonate, bring back memories and move me. ✨ My most recent purchase was a fun one. My grandpa had a piece of artwork that hung in their dining room. It was a painting of an opera house at night, most likely after a show had let out. There is a woman walking off with someone in the corner of the piece. I would stare at it and think, “Someday when I’m older, I can go to the opera and wear something fancy.” I couldn’t locate the piece at my grandpa’s house after he died so I hunted through my mom’s old photo boxes for a picture featuring the framed artwork. Sure enough, I found one and could faintly make out the artist’s name. I found it on eBay and it gets delivered this week! I can’t wait to hang it in our own dining room. The internet is so cool.
  • While I was sick the last two weeks, Desh sat beside me like the good guard dog nurse that he is. Also, this is about as close as we get to the balcony off our bedroom. Very much scared of heights over here. 👋🏽 But I’m feeling human again and am so thankful for clients, teammates and husband who were understanding and helped life go on.
  • Moved into a new house, both got sick, finishing up an antibiotic today, hosted all weekend and my sleep quality has been so awful (this is really rare for me). Please share how you re-center after some low key chaos and/or any sleeping advice. I also welcome baby fiddle leaf advice. 🌱 💤🙏🏽
  • We’re officially Short North dwellers! We may not have the right curtains or any artwork hung yet but our kitchen is set up and we have so much more room that I’ve had to use the “Find My iPhone” app. The funny thing is, our old house was the exact same square footage as this one but it feels so much bigger. My fave parts of the new place? Hardly any storage for shit we don’t use (yay minimalism!), a balcony off the bedroom, the biggest backyard there ever was and so much space to host. Desh has found the coziest corner and seems to approve.
  • Happy five year studio-versary to us! On February 28, 2014 we got the keys to this place. I have distinct memories of Adam’s dad installing our floors, @bobbyjocson_ helping late hours, @timsimeone building our conference table. Since then, we’ve served hundreds of clients, hosted over 110 events, had one amazing reno by @mixdesigncollective, and set off the security alarm countless times. Sometimes I dream of something smaller, sometimes I wish it was bigger. Who knows how long we’ll be here but I’m grateful right now.
