>> Announcer: THIS TIME, ON
"BROAD AND HIGH", EXPLORE THE
WORK OF 21st CENTURY
PHOTGRAPHERS WHO STILL USE 19th
CENTURY PROCESSES.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
PHOTOGRAPHERS DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO DO
SOMETHING THAT'S SO LABOR
INTENSIVE.
AND FOR SOME OF THESE ARTISTS
THAT'S PRECISELY WHY THEY WANTED
TO DO IT.
>> Announcer: AND MEET TWO
COLUMBUS MEN WHO WANT TO HELP
YOU PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD
WITH THEIR STYLISH SOCKS.
THIS AND MORE, RIGHT NOW ON
"BROAD AND HIGH."
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> HI EVERYONE, I'M
KATE QUICKEL.
AND WELCOME TO "BROAD AND HIGH."
IT'S FUNNY TO THINK HOW
PHOTOGRAPHY IS STILL A
RELATIVELY YOUNG ART FORM.
NOT QUITE 200 YEARS OLD YET.
AND DESPITE OUR MILLENIAL LOVE
OF INSTAGRAM AND SNAPCHAT
FILTERS, THE FUNDAMENTALS OF
CAPTURING IMAGES REMAINS THE
SAME.
AND SOME CONTEMPORARY
PHOTOGRAPHERS HAVE TOSSED ASIDE
THEIR iPHONES AND ONE- CLICK
CAMERAS IN FAVOR OF DOING IT OLD
SCHOOL.
WE LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
EVOLUTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC
PROCESS WITH A RECENT VISIT TO
THE DECORATIVE ARTS CENTER OF
OHIO IN LANCASTER.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> WE HAD TO DO THIS EXHIBIT.
IT'S OUR FIRST EXHIBITION OF
PHOTOGRAPHY.
AND THE PROCESSES THAT ARE USED
IN THESE IMAGES CAME TO PEAK USE
DURING THE CIVIL WAR.
AND ONE OF THE GREAT GENERALS OF
THE CIVIL WAR WAS BORN IN THE
HOUSE NEXT DOOR,
WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> I'M DOING A LOT OF THINGS
WITH THE EXHIBITION.
I'M NOT TEACHING PEOPLE ABOUT
PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT I AM SHOWING
PEOPLE A VARIETY OF METHODS OF
PRODUCING PHOTOGRAPHS.
SO PHOTOGRAPHS DO A COUPLE OF
THINGS.
ONE IS THAT THEY GIVE YOU AN
IMAGE OF A PERSON OR A PLACE OR
A THING.
AND WITHIN THAT THEY'RE A
TIME-CAPSULE.
SO THEY WILL SHOW YOU A STYLE OF
CLOTHING.
THEY'LL SHOW YOU A STYLE OF
TRANSPORTATION.
BUT THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE
IMAGERY MORE CLOSELY, YOU START
TO DENOTE CLASS SYSTEMS WHERE
YOU DENOTE CONDITIONS.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> I WAS ASKED TO FIND
CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS WORKING
WITH THE TECHNIQUES THAT WERE
PRESENTED IN SCOTT'S HALF OF THE
EXHIBITION.
PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL WORKING
WITH THESE 170 YEAR OLD
TECHNIQUES.
BEHIND ME IS A PIECE, EVEN
THOUGH IT'S 27 SEPARATE OBJECTS.
BUT IT'S THOUGHT OF AS A PIECE
BY AN ARTIST NAMED
KELLY ANDERSON STALEY.
THESE ARE COLLODION ON METAL,
MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS A
TIN-TYPE.
SHE'S MOSTLY KNOWN FOR HER
PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY AND I FELL
IN LOVE WITH HER ABSTRACTIONS.
WE WORKED ON IT OVER THE COURSE
OF THE SUMMER.
SHE SHIPPED IT OUT AND SHE'S A
RESIDENT OF HOUSTON.
AND THE DAYS THAT WE WERE
INSTALLING THIS, HER HOUSE WAS
CONSUMED AND SHE PUT HER
CHILDREN ON A RAFT AND ESCAPED
TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE WITH HER
HUSBAND.
AND SO THIS WORK, WHAT SHE
TITLED AT THE TIME, "FLOOD
TIDE."
PROPHETICALLY HAS BECOME
SOMETHING POSITIVE IN HER LIFE
BECAUSE IT'S HANGING HERE AND
BEING ENJOYED BY EVERYONE WHILE
SHE'S DEALING WITH REBUILDING
HER LIFE IN HOUSTON.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
PHOTOGRAPHERS DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO DO
SOMETHING THAT'S SO LABOR
INTENSIVE, AND FOR SOME OF THESE
ARTISTS, THAT'S PRECISELY WHY
THEY WANTED TO DO IT BECAUSE
IT'S DIFFERENT FROM DIGITAL
TECHNOLOGIES IN THAT THEY'RE
MAKING AN OBJECT.
NOT PRESSING A BUTTON, NOT
SITTING AT A COMPUTER, BUT
THEY'RE MAKING SOMETHING WITH
THEIR HANDS.
AND THEY'RE MAKING SOMETHING
THAT'S COATED. THEY'RE MAKING SOMETHING THAT
THEY CAN HOLD.
AND IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT'S
UNIQUE.
>> SO WHY DON'T YOU HAVE SEAT.
HERE, IS A PROJECT I'VE BEEN
CALLING "THE OPERATING ROOM."
WHICH IS A 16 BY 20 LARGE FORMAT
CAMERA THAT I CONSTRUCTED OUT OF
SOME OLD DARK ROOM EQUIPMENT, AN
INDUCTOR'S EXAM TABLE AND
THERE'S A BED FRAME IN THERE
TOO.
THIS CHAIR I CONSTRUCTED ALSO IS
OUT OF FOUND MATERIALS, THAT HAS
A HEAD RESTRAINT, MUCH LIKE YOU
MIGHT FIND IN A 19th CENTURY
STUDIO.
THE NAME "THE OPERATING ROOM"
COMES FROM DOING SOME RESEARCH
ON 19th CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY.
OFTEN TIMES PHOTOGRAPHERS WERE
CALLED CAMERA OPERATORS.
HENCE THEIR STUDIO WOULD BE
CALLED AN OPERATING ROOM.
AND I KIND OF FOUND THAT REALLY
FASCINATING AND KIND OF USED
THAT TO RIFF-ON I GUESS.
ONE NICE THING ABOUT THIS
PROCESS, THOUGH IT IS SLOWER
THAN WHAT WE'RE USED TO, YOU CAN
WITHIN 15-20 MINUTES.
IF I GO AND PROCESS IT RIGHT
AWAY YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS
FAIRLY FAST.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE SHOOTING A
19th CENTURY POLAROID THAT YOU
MANUALLY PROCESSING BECAUSE THE
PLATE THAT YOU GET AT THE END IS
WHAT WAS IN THE CAMERA, JUST
LIKE A POLAROID.
I THINK WHAT MY PART OF THIS
EXHIBIT KIND OF MAKES IT ALL
REAL I THINK, PERHAPS TO A
VIEWER.
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF
SEE HOW SOME OF THESE IMAGES
WERE MADE, BOTH WORK ON THE
CONTEMPORARY SIDE AND THE
19th CENTURY SIDE OF THE
EXHIBIT.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> WELL I WOULD HOPE PEOPLE
WOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THE HISTORY
OF PHOTOGRAPHY IS RICH
ARTISTICALLY, BUT TO FIND OUT
THAT PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE STILL
USING THOSE TECHNIQUES TO SAY
SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR LIVES
TODAY AND THAT'S STILL A VIABLE
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> Announcer: IN OUR OWN IMAGE,
THE GENESIS OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND
THE CONTEMPORARY EYE IS ON VIEW
IN LANCASTER THROUGH
DECEMBER 31st.
VISIT THE DECORATIVE ARTS CENTER
OF OHIO'S WEB PAGE FOR DETAILS.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> NEXT UP, TWO LOCAL MEN WANT
TO HELP YOU PUT YOUR BEST FOOT
FORWARD.
THEY ARE THE FOUNDERS OF "KEEP
IT SIMPLE SOCKS", A COLUMBUS
BASED SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE FOR
FASHIONABLE FOOTWEAR.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> SO THE IDEA FOR "KEEP IT
SIMPLE SOCKS" GENERATED BACK IN
JANUARY OF 2016.
SO I WAS STANDING AROUND WITH A
GROUP OF FRIENDS, AND I'VE
ALWAYS LOVED COOL SOCKS.
IT'S KIND OF BEEN MY THING.
SO, I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO
THEM, YOU JUST GOTTA KISS YOUR
SOCKS.
LIKE KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.
AND MY FRIEND ZACH JUST KIND OF
YELLS OUT OF NO WHERE, "NO, YOU
GOTTA KEEP IT SIMPLE SOCKS."
MICHAEL CAME TO ME, I REMEMBER A
SPECIFIC NIGHT IN APRIL AND HE
HAD TOLD ME THE IDEA FOR IT
MONTHS AGO, WHEN IT WAS JUST
KIND OF AN IDEA THAT WASN'T
REAL.
HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS REALLY
GOING TO START IT.
AND SO IMMEDIATELY I LOVED IT
BECAUSE I LOVE SOCKS.
FOR THE LAST YEAR, I GOT WEIRDLY
ADDICTED TO SOCKS.
I ASKED FOR SOCKS FOR CHRISTMAS
FROM MY MOM AND SHE WAS LIKE
WHAT. >> YEAH, WE DECIDED TO DO SOME
RESEARCH AND REALLY DIG INTO
WHAT DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING
AND THAT TYPE OF THING WOULD
LOOK LIKE.
AND ECOMMERCE AND THEN WE
LAUNCHED IN NOVEMBER OF THAT
YEAR.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
SO, WE KIND OF HAVE THREE FACETS
TO OUR BUSINESS MODEL.
SO THE FIRST WOULD BE INDIVIDUAL
ORDERS.
YOU CAN GO ON THE WEBSITE.
YOU CAN PURCHASE A SINGLE PAIR
OF SOCKS, YOU CAN PURCHASE A
COUPLE OF PAIRS, YOU KNOW,
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
WE HAVE THEN THE SUBSCRIPTION
SERVICE, WHICH HAS ESSENTIALLY
THREE TIERS.
SO YOU CAN DO A SINGLE PAIR, TWO
PAIRS, OR THREE PAIR
SUBSCRIPTION.
SO, WE HAVE SOME CUSTOMERS THAT
THEY JUST WANT TO OVERHAUL THEIR
STOCK DRAWER.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT SINCE WE
LAUNCHED.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE A TON OF SOCKS
BY NOW.
PEOPLE REALLY ENJOY THE
SUBSCRIPTION, AND REALLY ENJOY
KIND OF GETTING THAT PRODUCT
EVERY MONTH FROM US AND SEEING
WHERE WE'RE GOING AS WE RELEASE
NEW DESIGNS AND SEEING HOW OUR
BRAND IS MOVING FORWARD TOO.
>> SO THAT'S KIND OF THE OFF THE
ECOMMERCE.
THAT'S THE ECOMMERCE PIECE OF
IT.
AND OUR THIRD FACET IS OUR
WHOLE-SALE.
WE GO TO A LOT OF LOCAL EVENTS.
KIND OF THE MADE-LOCAL MARKET
PLACES.
OR OHIO MADE MARKET PLACES.
WE DO A LOT OF THOSE.
>> SO ALL THE DESIGN WORK IS
DONE HERE.
OBVIOUSLY BY US, IN-HOUSE.
AND THEN, WHAT IS NOT PRODUCED
HERE, IS THE ACTUAL SOCKS.
SO WE HAVE A MANUFACTURER
OVERSEAS. IT'S MADE OUT OF 8% COTTON, AND
IT'S GOT SOME POLYESTER IN
THERE.
BUT IT ALSO HAS SOME ELASTAIN,
WHICH HELPS IT TO STRETCH A
LITTLE BIT.
THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE
THEY CAN FIT ANYWHERE FROM -- WE
HAVE A LOT OF FEMALE SUBSCRIBERS
WHICH IS REALLY COOL.
SO IT FITS SOME SLIGHTLY SMALLER
12-13.
IT CAN STRETCH WITHOUT DAMAGING
THE MATERIAL OR DESIGN OR
ANYTHING.
>> WE DON'T DO ANY PACKAGING
OVERSEAS.
WE PACKAGE THEM ALL HERE.
WE LIKE TO PUT INDIVIDUAL NOTES
IN YOUR FIRST SUBSCRIPTION.
IT JUST GIVES IT MORE OF A
PERSONAL TOUCH I SUPPOSE.
>> WE REALLY DECIDED WE WANTED
TO DO ONE THING AND DO IT
REALLY, REALLY WELL.
AND IF WE GET TO A POINT TO
WHERE WE CAN EXPAND, WE WILL
EXPAND.
EVEN INTO OUTSIDE OF MAYBE
SOCKS.
AND AS WE GROW AND GROW, IF WE
GET TO A POINT, OUR -- WE WOULD
LOVE TO START OUR OWN
MANUFACTURING.
DO IT ALL IN-HOUSE, WHICH WOULD
BE REALLY COOL.
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT OUR EYE
IS ON IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED FOR THE
DESIGNS COMING OUT THIS FALL.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE AWESOME.
JUST A LITTLE SNEAK-PEAK, WE
ACTUALLY HAVE AN 80s LINE COMING
OUT.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY
AWESOME.

>> PRICE HILL IS ONE OF THE
OLDEST COMMUNITIES IN
CINCINNATI.
AND IN RECENT YEARS, COMMUNITY
GROUPS HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO
REVITALIZE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
ONE OF IT'S SHINING EXAMPLES OF
CIVIC PARTICIPATION IS A PROGRAM
CALLED "MUSIC FOR YOUTH IN
CINCINNATI."
OR "MY-CINCINNATI."
IT WAS INSPIRED BY EL SYSTEMA,
VENEZUELA'S REVOLUTIONARY YOUTH
ORCHESTRA PROGRAM THAT USES
MUSIC AS A VEHICLE FOR SOCIAL
CHANGE.
BUT CLOSER TO HOME IN OUR SISTER
CITY TO THE SOUTH,
"MY-CINCINNATI" AIMS TO MAKE
CLASSICAL MUSIC A UNIFYING FORCE
FOR RESIDENTS TO CONNECT OVER
THEIR SHARED HUMANITY.
>> WHAT IS THE 21st CENTURY
ARTIST LOOK LIKE?
IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> I THINK THE OLD MODEL OF
CONSERVATORY TRAINING, WHICH IS
TRY TO GET REALLY GOOD AT YOUR
INSTRUMENT, AND HOPE YOU GET A
JOB IN AN ORCHESTRA.
THAT IS ALREADY DEAD AND GONE.
IT WAS DIFFICULT.
IT IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT NOW.
SOME MIGHT SAY IMPOSSIBLE.
SO, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FROM A
PURELY CAREER-ORIENTED
PERSPECTIVE, THAT MODEL OF
PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANSHIP
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
SO, YOU NEED TO BRANCH OUT.
YOU NEED TO MAKE YOURSELF MORE
ACCESSIBLE.
YOU NEED TO MAKE YOURSELF MORE
ABLE TO CONNECT WITH DIVERSE
COMMUNITIES.
COMMUNITIES WITH DIFFERENT
NEEDS, ARTIST, SOCIAL NEEDS.
AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WORK
WITH PEOPLE.
AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WORK
TOGETHER.
HI, MY NAME IS EDDY KWON.
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF
"MY-CINCINNATI."
"MY-CINCINNATI" IS A FREE DAILY
YOUTH ORCHESTRA PROGRAM FOR
CHILDREN IN PRICE HILL.
PRICE HILL HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN
A WORKING CLASS COMMUNITY.
IT'S AN INTERESTING TIME TO BE
IN PRICE HILL.
AS PART OF THE "MY-CINCINNATI"
COMMUNITY BECAUSE PRICE HILL IS
GOING THROUGH SOME PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.
AND WE HAVE A UNIQUE VANTAGE
POINT AS ARTISTS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND MUSICIANS IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND AS
TEACHING ARTISTS THAT ARE
WORKING WITH CHILDREN TO BE A
UNIFYING FORCE FOR THE COMMUNITY
AND TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
FOLKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO
COME TOGETHER, TO CONNECT OVER
THEIR SHARED HUMANITY AND TO
WORK TOGETHER TOWARDS A COMMON
GOAL.
WHICH HOPEFULLY, AND SHOULD
ALIGN WITH THE GOALS OF THE
RESIDENCE.
SO, A MAJORITY OF OUR STUDENTS
MANY OF WHOM COME FROM IMMIGRANT
FAMILIES.
SO, WHILE ALL EXPERIENCES ARE
VARIED AND DIFFERENT, AND
NUANCED IN VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
WAYS I FOUND THAT MY BACKGROUND
AS A CHILD OF IMMIGRANTS AND AS
A PERSON OF COLOR ALLOWED ME
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES AND PATHS
TO CONNECT WITH MY STUDENTS IN
IMPORTANT WAYS.
I AM BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR MY TIME
HERE.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE WHAT I
WOULD BE LIKE AND WHAT MY LIFE
WOULD BE LIKE WITHOUT
"MY-CINCINNATI."
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> SO "MY-CINCINNATI" HAS AROUND
100 STUDENTS.
A LITTLE OVER 100 STUDENTS
ENROLLED.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE
STUDENTS ARE COMING TO ORCHESTRA
SO, IF YOU WERE TO WALK INTO OUR
PROGRAM BUILDING AT PEAK HOUR,
YOU WOULD SEE AT LEAST TWO
ORCHESTRAS REHEARSING
DOWNSTAIRS.
ALL OF THE PRACTICES ROOM FILLED
WITH PRIVATE LESSONS HAPPENING
OR MINI- SECTIONALS.
UPSTAIRS YOU WOULD SEE ANOTHER
ORCHESTRA PERFORMING IN ONE
ROOM. YOU WOULD SEE A SECTIONAL
HAPPENING IN THE HALLWAY.
YOU'D SEE ANOTHER SECTIONAL
HAPPENING IN THE CONFERENCE
ROOM. YOU'D SEE SOME MINI-LESSONS
HAPPENING IN THE BACK CORNER
ROOM. YOU SEE THE WINDS HAPPENING IN
ANOTHER ROOM. SO REALLY, WHEN YOU COME IN
THERE'S JUST THIS UNSTOPPABLE
AND FLUID MOVEMENT OF MUSIC
HAPPENING AT ALL TIMES.
>> I LIKE THAT IT'S SOMEWHERE
SAFE THAT I CAN COME TO AFTER
SCHOOL.
LIKE, WITHOUT BEING JUDGED BY
ANYBODY ELSE.
>> AND ALSO, IT'S FREE.
AT SCHOOL I HAVE TO PAY FOR
LESSONS.
BUT HERE IT'S MOSTLY FREE.
THEY TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE LEADER.
YOURSELF AS A TEACHER AND AS A
STUDENT TO SEE BOTH SIDES OF THE
SPECTRUM.
>> LIKE, A LOT OF THE YOUNGER
KIDS.
I THINK SOME OF THEM ARE GETTING
THE IDEA THAT MUSIC IS A VERY
POWERFUL TOOL.
AND SOME OF THEM, IT TAKES TIME.
I THINK SOME OF THEM ARE GETTING
THAT IDEA.
THAT MUSIC IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO
SPARK A CHANGE.
>> ALL RIGHT, BRAVO, CAN WE GIVE
ZAHED A RUMBLE PLEASE!
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> THE ADULT ORCHESTRA IS ONE OF
MY FAVORITE NEW ADDITIONS TO
"MY- CINCINNATI."
THE ADULT ORCHESTRA IS LED BY
LAURA JECKEL, WHO IS THE FOUNDER
OF "MY- CINCINNATI."
AND IT CAME ABOUT PRETTY
ORGANICALLY.
THE ONLY QUALIFICATION IS YOU
LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
OTHERWISE, JUST LIKE
"MY-CINCINNATI" IT IS A
COMPLETELY FREE PROGRAM.
AND WE PROVIDE ALL OF THE
INSTRUMENTS.
SO RIGHT NOW, LAURA'S ORCHESTRA
HAS AROUND 35 ADULTS.
SOME OF THEM ARE "MY-CINCINNATI"
PARENTS WHICH IS VERY COOL, BUT
MOSTLY JUST NEIGHBORHOOD
RESIDENTS.
THE KIDS ARE AT THIS POINT
DEFINITELY BETTER THAN THE
ADULTS.
LAURA WILL SOMETIMES ASK SOME OF
THE OLDER "MY-CINCINNATI"
STUDENTS THAT HAVE PARENTS IN
THE ORCHESTRA TO HELP AND
DEMONSTRATE TO MODEL GOOD
POSITION, TO PLAY ALONG.
SO THAT'S A REALLY COOL
OPPORTUNITY SO THE KIDS HAVE A
CHANCE TO BE THE TEACHERS.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@! >> I THINK ONE OF THE MOST
PROFOUNDLY BEAUTIFUL THINGS
ABOUT MUSIC AND THE KIND OF
MUSIC THAT WE'RE PLAYING HERE,
IS THAT MUSIC HAS IT'S OWN SET
OF RULES AND EXPECTATIONS.
AND WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING A PIECE
OF MUSIC, YOU ARE IN FACT
STEPPING INTO A WORLD THAT HAS
IT'S OWN LAWS.
THAT HAS IT'S OWN CULTURE.
THAT HAS IT'S OWN TRADITIONS.
AND THIS SET OF LAWS IS
COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM OUR OWN.
WHICH MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO
EXPAND YOU IMAGINATION ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE TO BE CREATIVE ENOUGH
TO COMMIT TO BEING IN THIS
ALTERNATE REALITY.
JUST WHAT IT IS.
AND WHEN YOU DO THAT ENOUGH --
ALL RIGHT ONE MORE TIME.
YOU ARE THEN, GIVEN THE KINDS OF
TOOLS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE
THAT SUBTLE SHIFT IN YOUR
THINKING.
FIRST NOTE SHOULD BE LIKE A
BOMB, BOOM!
READY?
WHAT CAN BE DIFFERENT ABOUT MY
LIFE?
WHAT MORE CAN I IMAGINE FOR
MYSELF AND FOR MY FAMILY AND MY
COMMUNITY?
FOR MY SCHOOL?
SO IN ORDER TO DO SOMETHING
EXPRESSIVE, YOU NEED TO USE A
PARTICULAR KIND OF TECHNIQUE.
WHAT MUSIC DOES, IS THAT IT
OPPORTUNITY TO ASK THAT QUESTION
AND THEN IT GIVES YOU CONCRETE
STEPS TO GET THERE.

>> CALABAZA, IT'S A FANCY WORD
FOR GOURD AND DECORATING GOURDS,
MOSTLY THROUGH WOOD BURNING IS
AN ANCIENT TRADITION ACROSS
AFRICA, ASIA AND THE AMERICAS
DATING BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
CALABAZAS ARE STILL USED AS
CANVASES TODAY, AND OUR NEXT
STORY FOLLOWS ONE ARTIST WHOSE
WORK IS INFLUENCED BY THE VAST
BEAUTY OF HER DESERT
SURROUNDINGS AS WELL AS HER
NAVAJO AND AZTEC HERITAGE.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> MY NAME IS TIA FLORES AND I
DO PYROGRAPHIC GOURD SCULPTURES
A FANCY NAME FOR GOURD.
I USE GOURDS AS MY CANVAS AND
FROM THEN I DO WOOD BURNING ON
IT, WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS
PYOGRAPHY.
PYORGRAPHY IS AN ANCIENT ART
FORM OF DRAWING OR WRITING WITH
FIRE.
AND THERE'S DIFFERENT TYPES OF
HOT TOOLS YOU CAN USE TO BURN ON
A PARTICULAR SURFACE AND BECAUSE
THE HARD-SHELL GOURD IS VERY
MUCH LIKE THE SURFACE OF WOOD.
IT TAKES REALLY, REALLY WELL TO
WOOD BURNING OR THE PYOGRAPHY.
THE GOURD IS ONE OF THOSE
NATURAL, ORGANIC UNITS THAT'S
BEEN FOUND ON NEARLY EVERY
CONTINENT AROUND THE WORLD.
IT'S BEEN USED BY EVERY CULTURE
IN THE WORLD.
IN FACT, IT PREDATES POTTERY.
IN SOME COUNTRIES IT WAS USED
FOR CEREMONIAL PURPOSES.
THAT'S WHAT THE NATIVE AMERICANS
USE IT FOR.
I STARTED WORKING WITH GOURDS IN
THE 90s, THE LATE 90s.
I WAS GOING THROUGH SORT OF A
TRANSITION IN MY LIFE.
A CAREER TRANSITION TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT I WANTED TO DO
WITH MY LIFE.
AND I ALSO WANTED TO GET IN
TOUCH WITH MY HERITAGE.
THE PIECES THAT I CREATE AND
DESIGN, THEY'RE A REFLECTION OF
MY FAMILY HISTORY.
I'M A FOUR-GENERATION NEVADAN.
AND SO FROM MY MOM'S SIDE OF THE
FAMILY, THEY WERE SETTLERS THAT
CAME ACROSS VERY STOIC, VERY
HARD NEVADANS. YOU KNOW, WORKED IN THE MINES
AND STUFF.
AND THEN ON MY DAD'S SIDE OF THE
FAMILY, THAT'S THE AZTEC AND
NAVAJO.
AND MY GRANDMA WAS A HEALER.
SO A LOT OF MY WORK REFLECTS
EITHER SIDE OF THE FAMILY.
THEY'RE EITHER NAVAJO TEACHINGS
ON THAT OR AZTEC SYMBOLISM.
OR SOMETHING THAT'S REFLECTIVE
OF THE NEVADA DESERT OR THE
GREAT BASIN.
GROWING UP IN NEVADA, I'VE
ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO THE
CREATURES AND THE ANIMALS AND
THE HABITAT.
AND I LOVE THE SYMBOLISM AND THE
VAST BEAUTY OF THE DESERT AND I
TRY TO REFLECT THAT IN A LOT OF
MY PIECES.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED WITH
SNAKES.
AND THE PATTERN AND TEXTURE.
AND JUST THE BEAUTY OF THAT
SNAKE.
IN NAVAJO, THE BUTTERFLY
REPRESENTS TRANSFORMATION THAT
WE'RE ALWAYS GROWING AND
EVOLVING INTO SOMETHING MORE
BEAUTIFUL.
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE
TORTOISE, THE TORTOISE SHELL
REPRESENTS THE BIRTH OF EARTH.
AND IT REPRESENTS MOTHER NATURE.
SO YOU'RE PUTTING BEAUTIFUL
IMAGES ON THEM, BUT AT THE SAME
TIME YOU'RE ABLE TO TELL A
STORY.
AND THE MEANING BEHIND IT.
I LIKE TO SURROUND MYSELF WITH
THE GOURDS IN MY STUDIO.
LET'S SAY I FIND THE PERFECT
GOURD.
SOMETIMES I'LL LOOK AT IT, AND
I'LL SEE SOMETHING COME OUT OF
IT.
THERE'S AN IMAGE THAT NEEDS TO
BE PUT ON IT.
THEN I CLEAN IT.
AND IT'S GOT A NICE SMOOTH,
SMOOTH SURFACE THAT'S REALLY
CONDUCIVE TO THE WOOD BURNING ON
IT.
AND I SKETCH OUT MY DESIGNS ON
IT.
AND ONCE I SKETCH IT THEN I
START TO BURN IT.
AND JUST LIGHTLY BURNING IT.
AND TO SEE HOW IT GOES.
WHEN I'M MAKING MY ART, THERE'S
NOTHING THAT SEPARATES ME FROM
THE GOURD BECAUSE I HAVE TO HOLD
IT, I HAVE TO CRADLE IT THE
WHOLE TIME I'M WORKING IT.
THERE'S JUST THIS NICE
CONNECTION.
YOU ALMOST GO INTO A DIFFERENT
STATE.
AS YOU'RE BURNING IT, THE SMELL
ALMOST REMINDS YOU OF SITTING
AROUND A CAMPFIRE.
IT'S VERY MEDITATIVE AND VERY
RELAXING.
YOUR MIND CAN GO OFF INTO
DIFFERENT CORNERS, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU'RE SITTING AROUND, YOU
KNOW, YOU'RE BRACING THE GOURD
AND THERE'S JUST THAT EARTHY
CONNECTION THAT I JUST LOVE TO
WORK WITH.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> THAT'S OUR SHOW.
WE WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO
THE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER FOR
LETTING US TAKE OVER THEIR
BEAUTIFUL POTTERY WORKSHOP
TODAY.

NEXT WEEK WITH MORE GREAT
STORIES ON "BROAD AND HIGH."
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
>> I AM ORIGINALLY FROM TOLEDO,
OHIO.
MY FAMILY IS FROM DETROIT.
AND THEN WE ALL KIND OF MIGRATED
DOWN HERE WHEN I WENT TO
COLUMBUS COLLEGE OF ART AND
DESIGN.
!!musiC@!!!musiC@!
SEEING MYSELF IN PLACES.
LIKE, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I
COULDN'T FIND PAPERED AISLES
THAT WERE BROWN.
I COULDN'T SO I MADE MY OWN.
AND I DID THAT AS LIKE A
6-YEAR-OLD LITTLE GIRL.
I MADE MY OWN PAPERED-AISLES AND
IT GREW TO A COLLECTION OF
1,000 PAPERED AISLES.
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW DEDICATED I
WAS, OR PASSIONATE ABOUT SEEING
THINGS THAT LOOK LIKE ME IN THE
WORLD.
SO WITH MY WORK, I WANT TO SHOW
PEOPLE OF COLOR, BLACK PEOPLE,
DOING REGULAR THINGS.
EXISTING IN THEIR REGULAR LIFE.
AND BEING HAPPY, OR BEING SAD OR
BEING PLAYFUL OR BEING IN LOVE.
THAT'S ALL VERY IMPORTANT TO ME
TO ILLUSTRATE THOSE, THOSE
MOMENTS.
BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE THEM AS
MUCH AS YOU SHOULD, YOU KNOW?
I THINK IT WAS IN 2012 IS KIND
OF WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY SELL MY
ARTWORK ON PRODUCTS.
AND THAT'S WHEN ARIEL BRANDS
CAME ABOUT.
STARTED PUTTING IT ON EVERYTHING
THAT I COULD THINK OF.
LIKE, LITERALLY PRINTING IT ON
EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF.
BACK BEFORE, YOU KNOW, WHEN I
WAS YOUNGER, WHEN I WAS A KID,
WE DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO SEEING
LIKE A BLACK ARTIST, A BLACK
WOMAN ARTIST CREATING ARTWORK
AND MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT AND
ACTUALLY HAVING HER OWN STUDIO
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
I DIDN'T KNOW THEY EXISTED.
AND SO, BEING ABLE TO FILL THAT
GAP FEELS GREAT FOR ME BECAUSE I
KNOW THE NEXT GENERATION WILL
HAVE MORE EXAMPLES THAT I DIDN'T
HAVE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
