About this work:
My current project “It’s You I Like” is a live Zoom miniseries loosely structured after Mr. Rogers, and made in search of connection during socially distant times. The content of the show is based on conversations with five artists in five different cities around the world, whose intimate thoughts and landscapes are combined with surreal big-head puppets searching for purpose.
This project consists of three episodes: 1. Home, 2. Work, and 3. Relationships.
Episode 2: Work aired live on Sunday May 31st 4pm ET.
