We discussed: the desire to have something noteworthy to contribute to the world, form above all else, sadly, merit does not drive success, the joke that artist should marry a rich person, wood always tries to remember it is a tree, speaking the loudest through your work, the strength of a community when in school, fail spectacularly while in school, Artist residencies, the importance of building a network, remove the stigma on copying, how she got her work in museums, brand identity, the increased speed of the art world, the importance of responding to your materials, issues of gender and ethnicity in the art world
