Without
going
into
all
the
the
deep
personals,
it
was
definitely
a
super
challenging
time,
just
within
my
family
and
household
and
as
a
creative.
I
do
a
lot
of
work
for
festivals
and
run
production
for
clothing
companies
and
whatnot
and
immediately
I
lost
all
of
my
work
and
kind
of
went
into
a
state
of
panic
and,
and
I'm
also
I'm
a
seamstress.
B
I
have
a
clothing
company
and
so
immediately-
or
I
wouldn't
say
immediately
after
a
couple
weeks,
my
work
pivoted
to
making
masks,
and
so
I
started
a
whole
mass
company
off
of
covid
people.
I
I've
never
have
produced
for
such
a
demand
before
in
my
life,
and
it
was
a
saving
grace
and
it
was
a
lot
of
work.
But
now
I
have
a
company
called
the
citizen
mask
and
then
also
this
project
came
up.
I
just
feel
like
there's,
actually
been
a
lot
of
support
for
the
arts
in
different
ways.
A
A
B
So
I
put
up
a
mural
on
the
side
of
the
wendy's
building
in
south
boulder.
I
actually
don't
live
down
there.
I
live
in
north
boulder,
but
I
live.
You
know
out
in
the
meadows,
so
there's
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
places
to
put
art,
but
I
really
feel
like
that.
Particular
building,
which
I
have
other
art
on,
is
just
like
a
center
pivot
point
in
the
middle
of
boulder,
and
I
put
up
a
new
piece:
it's
not
directly
related
to
covid
like
it's
not
like
you
know.
B
A
I
love
that
I'll
have
to
go
check
it
out.
I
haven't
been
in
boulder
since
the
start
of
everything,
but
where
are
you
at
I'm?
At
my
parents
place
they
live
in
broomfield,
oh
okay,
lovely
yeah,
no,
but
yeah.
That
sounds
amazing.
I
love
that
so
then.
The
last
question
is
there:
is
there
anything
else
you'd
like
to
share
about
your
experience
or
the
project.
B
Well,
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
liking
is
to
cruise
around
boulder
and
to
see
the
projects
up
like
there
was
this
one.
I
don't
even
actually
know
if
it
was
a
part
of
this,
but
it
felt
like
it
was,
and
it
was
a
wishing
tree,
that's
kind
of
like
I
don't
know
it's
north
boulder-ish
on
a
trail
and
and
it
was
so
beautiful
to
like
come
upon
it
super
random
spot.
B
But
a
lot
of
people
have
been
putting
their
wishes
on
there
and
to
like
turn
it
over
and
to
read,
and
you
see
little
kids
like
you
know
all
the
way
to
you
could
feel
the
age
range,
and
so
I'm
just
a
huge
pro.
I
just
really
believe
in
how
creativity
creates
inclusiveness
and
how,
when
we
bring
it
to
the
streets,
it
really
has
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
all
sorts
of
people
and
all
sorts
of
places,
and
and
not
feel
so
alone,
in
where
they're
at
and
particularly
at
this
time.
B
What's
the
word
tight
on,
you
know,
selecting
their
art
and
oh,
it's
gotta.
Look
like
this
or
oh.
You
know
it's
gotta,
be
that
artist
or
it's
this
like
grueling
process
and
like
now
I
feel
more
of
the
spontaneity
of
street
art,
because
that's
what
I
come
from,
I
come
from
like
just
hit
the
streets
and
put
art
up
and
and
for
the
one
for
them
to
just
support
art
coming
forth
through
the
community
and
yeah
and
in
more
of
a
spontaneous
vibe.
B
B
It
makes
me
go
looking
for
it
and
I
really
hope
that
they
create
a
map
of
all
of
the
work,
and
you
know
because
I'm
sure,
there's
tons
of
pieces
out
there
that
I
don't
even
know
where
they're
at
and
yeah
and
I
feel
really
supported
by
the
city
like
I
feel
like
they
value
their
artists
and
they
value
this
project.
And-
and
so
I
I
mean
I
feel
like
I'm
not
as
scared
to
like
go
up
put
up.
Renegade
art
or
you
know,
go
put
up
a
piece
because
I
feel
like
that's.
