[ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] >>> WELCOME TO "BROAD & HIGH."

I'M YOUR HOST, KATE QUICKEL.

TIFFANY LAWSON IS A MIXED MEDIA ARTIST WHO ATTRIBUTES HER ARTISTS TO COMMUNITY ARTS PROGRAM IN GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS ACROSS OHIO.

HER GALLERIES IS A TESTAMENT TO THOSE NATURE AND NURTURE TO OTHER LOCAL ARTISTS LIKE AMINAH ROBINSON AND BROOKS IN HER LIFE.

WE MET HER IN HER OFFICE AND COMMON THEMES IN HER WORK.

>> I REALLY MAKE WORK BASED OFF OF WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING AND THE BOOKS THAT I READ.

SO THAT'S A BIG PART OF MY PROCESS.

GROWING UP, I ALWAYS WAS A DRAWER, IF YOU WILL.

MY FAVORITE PLACE TO DRAW WAS IN THE END TABLE DRAWER AND BEHIND THE COUCH.

MY MOTHER WASN'T A FAN OF THAT AT ALL, AND I SIGNED THEM.

THEY WERE ALL MASTERPIECES IN MY MIND.

SO IT'S ALWAYS BEEN SORT OF MY THING.

MOM RAN A CHURCH PROGRAM ACROSS THE STREET.

OHIO AVENUE METHODIST CHURCH AND WE HAVE AN ARTS SQUAD CALLED THE BEBE SQUAD AND THE WORK SHOPS BROUGHT IN LOCAL ARTISTS LIKE AMINAH ROBINSON, QUEEN BROOKS AND GRANDPA SMOKEY BROWN, SO ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE.

IT HAS VERY MUCH GIVEN ME FREEDOM BECAUSE IT IS VERY HARD TO SIT IN FRONT OF A STARK WHITE CANVAS AND FIGURE OUT WHERE TO MAKE YOUR FIRST MONTH.

SO WITH WABI SABI, NO MATTER WHERE I MADE MY MARK AS IMPERFECT AS IT COULD BE IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND IT FREED MY PRACTICE AND SO WHEN I MAKE MISTAKES THEY'RE HAPPY MISTAKES LIKE BOB ROSS.

IT IS AN AESTHETIC OF IMPERMANENCE AND THERE'S BEAUTY IN THAT AS IT CONTINUES, AS THOSE IMPERFECTIONS CONTINUE TO BUILD EVEN OR AGE THROUGH TIME.

THERE'S BEAUTY IN THOSE.

[ music ] >> A SEAT AT THE TABLE ACTUALLY STARTED OFF AS A DAILY SKETCH-- PRACTICE SKETCH, AND IT DEVELOPED INTO A SERIES.

IN EXPLORING BLACK LIFE OR EVEN THE HEALING COMPONENT OF IT, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE TO BEGIN TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS SO THAT NEW WORK CAN BE DONE, AND IN A LOT OF WAYS THERE HAVEN'T BEEN THOSE SEATS OR TABLE.

SO IN REGARD TO MY SEVERAL SEATS, I'LL BRING MY OWN SEATS, SEVERAL OF THEM, AS A MATTER OF FACT.

NO TWO PEOPLE'S SEAT IS ALIKE.

EVERYBODY BRINGS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THE TABLE SO IT WAS IMPORTANT TO MAKE EACH SEAT SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER.

>> IN MY OPINION, BLACK ART OF THE PAST AS WE ARE MOVING INTO A NEWER GENERATION AND THAT'S WHAT I MEAN IN TERMS OF CAPTURING JOY AND HEALING AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE-- I GUESS, THERE IS DESPAIR WITH BLACK ART SPECIFICALLY REGARDING SLAVERY AND THE GREAT MIGRATION AND DISCRIMINATION AND ALL THOSE THINGS ARE STILL VERY MUCH IMPORTANT, BUT I DO BELIEVE THOSE STORIES HAVE BEEN TOLD AND THOSE AREN'T NECESSARILY THE STORIES THAT I CAN TELL.

I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE THINGS THAT ARE MORE PREVALENT TODAY FOR BLACK PEOPLE WHICH, AGAIN, ARE SIMILAR, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE HEALING PROCESS LIKE WHERE WE HAVE COME FROM TO WHERE WE ARE NOW BECAUSE THERE IS GREATER WORK TO DO.

SO THE HEALING ASPECT OF BLACK LIFE, IT EXISTS, BUT I THINK, IN A LOT OF WAYS JUST NOT EXPLORED.

THERE IS A COMPONENT OF BLACK RESILIENCE, I THINK, THAT NEEDS TO BE CAPTURED IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

>> IT IS A FRENCH WORD THAT MEANS USING BASICALLY THINGS THAT ARE AT HAND.

THIS IS A BOX.

MY BELIEF IS THAT I AM EXPLORING BLACK RESILIENCE IN A WAY THAT WE ALWAYS HAD TO MAKE USE OF WHAT WE HAD.

USE WHAT YOU'VE GOT AND THAT IS VERY MUCH A BIG COMPONENT OF BLACK LIFE.

>> MOSTLY, IN GENERAL THE TIE THAT BINDS IS MOSTLY THE BROWN PAPER BAG.

SO A LOT OF TIMES I'LL START WITH JUST OPENING UP THE BROWN PAPER BAG AND ATTEMPT TO CONSIDER WHAT WAS IN THE BAG OR BECAUSE BROWN PAPER IS RECYCLED AND I TEND TO THINK OF THE RECYCLE AND WHO HAD THE BAG BEFORE ME AND WHO WAS IN THE BAG AND THAT'S A BIG PART OF WHAT SHOWS UP ON THE BROWN BAG.

IT GIVES ME DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO KIND OF BE CREATIVE WITH IN REGARDS WITH THE IMPERFECTIONS OF THE BAG.

SO IT BRINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE CHARACTER, I THINK, TO THE PIECE.

[ music ] [ music ] >> FROM THE BEGINNING I JUST THINK OF A STORY THAT I'M TRYING TO TELL.

THE PROJECT THAT I'M WORKING ON NOW IS-- HER NAME IS MOTHER DRUM.

I'M EXPLORING THE TROMBONE AND THE SEVEN SERMONS THAT HE BELIEVES THAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE KIND OF THRIVED ON.

I GENERALLY START FROM SOMETHING THAT I'M READING OR A STORY I'M TRYING TO TELL AND I SIFT THROUGH MEDIA OR TEAR OUT FROM MAGAZINES AND CUT OUT.

A LOT OF TEXTURE IS WHAT I FIND MYSELF USING.

AROUND THE WAY USA VERY MUCH IS AN EXPLORATION OF COMMUNITY.

IT'S A TALE OF TWO CITIES.

ON ONE SIDE YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL, THRIVING, VIBRANT COMMUNITY AND ON THE OTHER SIDE IT'S DILAPIDATED AND I WAS EXPLORING COMMUNITY, IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMMUNITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IN A LOT OF CASES ESPECIALLY HERE IN COLUMBUS AS NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BEING GENTRIFIED, YOU LOSE THAT.

IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THEY PRESERVE COMMUNITIES OR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT THEY DEEM, I GUESS, WORTH IT, IT SEEMS LIKE.

SO THE COMMUNITIES THAT GET WASHED OUT WE'LL NEVER REMEMBER THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE COMPLETELY GONE.

[ music ] [ music ] >> SO ROLLER SKATES IS A BIG PART OF MY PROCESS AND WHEN I'M STUCK OR CAN'T FIGURE OUT THINGS AND THE WORK AND IT'S THE 3D ELEMENTS AND HOW TO BUILD AND I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ENGINEER THEM SO THEY DO NOT FALL APART.

A LOT OF THAT I DO ON MY SKATE.

I HAVE A STROBE LIGHT, I CLOSE MY DRAPES AND I TURN THE MUSIC ON AS LOUD AS I CAN AND I TWIRL AROUND HERE.

IT DOES HELP.

IT TAKES ME OUT OF MY MIND IN REGARD TO MY CREATIVITY IN JUST A MOMENT LONG ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE PIECES FIT TOGETHER.

>> TO SEE MORE OF HER CREATIONS, CHECK HER OUT ONLINE OR INSTAGRAM AT THE 100MARK STUDIO.

BRYAN MOSS IS A CARTOONIST AND PAINTER INSPIRED BY AMINAH ROBINSON, HE DRAWS HIS MOTIVATIONS FROM MANY SOURCES.

HE TALKED ABOUT HIS CREATIVE PROCESS AND MUCH MORE.

[ music ] [ music ] >> HOW MANY DO YOU OWN?

[ laughter ] >> LET'S PUT IT LIKE THIS, HOW MANY COMIC BOOKS DO I OWN?

[ music ] [ MUSIC ]>> I OWN 20 BOOKSHELVES OF GRAPHIC NOVELS.

[ music ] >> AND I'LL HAVE MY OWN LIBRARY ONE DAY.

[ music ] [ music ] SO I WAS BORN IN 1981 ON THE SOUTH END OF COLUMBUS, BORN AND RAISED.

NOW THAT I REFLECT BACK ON IT, I GREW UP REALLY POOR.

WHEN YOU SAY IT IT SOUNDS PRETTY TRIGGERING AND I LEARNED A LOT AND THAT'S HOW I LEARNED HOW TO MAKE ART THROUGH A GRASSROOTS PROCESS.

I SIGNED UP FOR ART AND THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT I WAS GOING TO BE AN ARTIST.

AFTER THAT, IT WAS MORE JUST LIKE DRAWING, DRAWING SUBJECTS NONSTOP AND JUST OBSESSED WITH IT.

>> SO WHEN I WAS 10 OR 11 THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED COMIC BOOKS AND THEN IT SHIFTED SO I WAS DRAWING COMICS.

[ music ] [ music ] [ music ] >> THE CURRENT PROJECT I JUST FINISHED UP AND I'M STILL WORKING ON HERE AND THERE IS A COMIC BOOK CALLED "EIGHT FOOT PASS."

THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR THE BOOK WAS SIX MONTHS AND THERE IS A TEAM OF US OF AROUND SIX TO EIGHT PEOPLE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK ON THIS BOOK.

I AM IN THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF IT WHICH MEANS WHAT GOES THROUGH AND WHAT DOESN'T.

SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE A DIRECTOR.

[ music ] [ music ] >> THE IDEA OF CONVERTING A SCRIPT INTO A COMIC BOOK IS ACTUALLY A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS.

YOU GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS CALLED THUMB NAILING WHICH IS WHERE YOU LITERALLY SKETCH OFF THE IDEA AND THEN AFTER THAT YOU GO INTO YOUR OFFICIAL PENCIL WHERE YOU'RE, LIKE, OKAY THIS WORKS AND NOW LET'S DO THE PANELLING AND LET'S DRAW IN IN PENCIL AND MAKE THAT WORK.

[ music ] [ music ] >> AFTER THAT WE INK IT.

>> THE INKING PART IS THE FUN AND THE JAZZ OF IT AND AFTER THAT WE SCAN IT IN AND DIGITALLY COLOR IT AND MAKE IT THIS HITCHCOCKIAN MASTERPIECE AND THEY'RE, LIKE, ALL RIGHT.

WE BUILD IT WHILE WE FLY.

SO ANOTHER PROJECT THAT I WORKED ON THAT WAS SUPER AWESOME, SUPER EPIC.

A DREAM COME TRUE.

WHITE CASTLE AND COCA-COLA CALLED ME AND ASKED WOULD YOU DO THE ART FOR OUR 100th ANNIVERSARY?

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN DESIGNING A CUP?

I WAS, LIKE, YEAH.

WE SHOULD DO, LIKE, THREE CUPS LIKE A COLLECTOR THING.

[ music ] [ music ] >> NOW I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I ALWAYS WANTED TO DESIGN SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND EVEN FROM WHEN I WAS A KID BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE A LOT OF PASSION ABOUT IS ACTUALLY, LIKE, MAKING PRODUCTS COOL, AND SO WE DEVELOPED A NARRATIVE FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE ORIGINAL BILLY INGRAM, THE FOUNDER, THAT SHOWS THE DINER WITH THE FIRST LOCATION AND WHAT THE FIRST GIFT CARD LOOKED LIKE.

THIS IS MY NARRATIVE OF MY STORY TELLING THAT I CAME UP WITH AND OBVIOUSLY ME THERE AT THE END AS ANY GREAT RENAISSANCE PAINTER WOULD DO WHICH IS INCLUDE THEMSELVES INTO THE MASTERPIECE.

SO, YEAH.

SO IF YOU GET A CHANCE LOOK FOR THIS CUP ONLINE, YOU KNOW?

[ music ] [ music ] >> FOR ME LIFTING UP OTHER PEOPLE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH MY WORK, I WOULD SAY IT'S A ARE VERY CRITICAL PART OF WHAT I DO.

[ music ] [ music ] >> THE MURAL I RECENTLY COMPLETED WAS ONE AND ONLY HANIV AND IT IS ON MILLER AND MAIN.

[ music ] [ music ] >> HANIF IS A WRITER.

HE'S A FAMOUS WRITER.

THERE IS AN AGE DIFFERENCE AND THERE IS AN INDIRECT RELATIONSHIP THAT WE'VE ALWAYS HAD.

[ music ] >> WITH HANIF, THE COOL THING ABOUT IT IS THAT HE STAYED IN COLUMBUS.

THAT WAS MY PERSONAL GOAL, TOO.

I CAN MOVE, BUT I CHOOSE NOT TO BECAUSE OF THE IDEA OF BUILDING UP COLUMBUS.

WE ENDED UP CALLING IT THE PEOPLE'S MURAL BECAUSE OF HOW THE COMMUNITY GOT BEHIND IT.

THE PROCESS FOR THE PEOPLE'S MURAL WAS TO SHOW HANIF AS A MOSAIC.

THERE'S A WAY OF SETTING EYES ON THE PEOPLE WHO HOLD YOU UP INSTEAD OF PEOPLE IMAGINING THEM.

THE IDEA OF THIS IS WHERE THE CHARACTERS IN THE BACKGROUND AND THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE COMMUNITY, TOO.

I PUT THEM ALL IN BLACK AND WHITE AND I PUT HANIF IN COLOR BECAUSE I REALIZE AS ARTISTS WE'RE ISOLATED.

IN A SENSE WE THINK WE'RE ISOLATED AND IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THE CASE.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT US AND THAT CARE.

SO JUST GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS YOU GET KIND OF LOST AND IT'S PRETTY EXHAUSTING.

SO IT HAS A LOT OF PERSONAL MEANING WHEN I DESIGN THIS.

SO IN THE SUMMER OF 2020 I MOVED INTO AMINAH ROBINSON'S HOME THROUGH THE MUSEUM OF ART.

[ music ] [ music ] >> NOW WHAT I SERVED AS WAS THE MANAGER, BUT THERE'S KIND OF A DUALITY TO IT WHICH MEANS THAT AMINAH ROBINSON WAS MY MENTOR.

I MEANT AMINAH ROBINSON IN THE COLUMBUS MUSEUM OF ART IN MAY 2001.

SO IT HAD A HIGHER PURPOSE FOR ME.

IT'S A CURATED MUSEUM SPACE.

SO YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY INSIDE AMINAH ROBINSON.

THE SPIRIT IS DEFINITELY THERE, THE ENERGY IS THERE.

IT WAS PROBABLY THE LEAST ART PRODUCTIVE I WAS, BUT THE MOST HEALING PROCESS I'VE HAD.

I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND, LIKE, ACTUALLY, LIKE, RELAX, YOU KNOW?

BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENCY AND NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE FINANCES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

IT'S THE ONLY SPACE WHERE I CAN REALLY, LIKE, FLY.

WHERE I CAN, JUST, LIKE, DO WHATEVER I WANTED.

IT WAS A HEALING SPACE, I WOULD SAY.

[ music ] [ music ] >> THE ONE THING AMINAH SAID TO ME THAT STILL RESONATES WITH ME TODAY IS KEEP DRAWING.

DON'T STOP DRAWING AND AT THE TIME I'M, LIKE, DON'T TELL ME THAT.

I DRAW ALL OF THE TIME.

THAT'S ABSURD.

I WILL NEVER STOP DRAWING AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT LIFE HAPPENS.

[ laughter ] >> LIFE OCCURS AND AS YOU GET OLDER AND DRAWING BECOMES HARDER SO THAT MESSAGE, JUST, LIKE, KEEP DRAWING HAS MORE IMPORTANCE TO ME NOW THAN WHEN SHE TOLD ME THAT WHEN I WAS 22 YEARS OLD, YOU KNOW?

IT'S LIKE A MASTER TEACHER, RIGHT?

[ laughter ] SO, YES, IT'S PRETTY COOL.

[ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] >>> TO SEE MORE OF HIS WORK FIND HIM ON INSTAGRAM AT STRANGE THINGS MOSS.

[ music ] [ music ] >> THE CREATIONS OF WOODWORKER GREG VIGIL HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS ANTHROPOLOGY MEETS ART.

HE WORKS WITH MOSTLY FOUND OBJECTS AND SPENDS COUNTLESS HOURS OF MAKING THEM INTO WORKS OF ART.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HIS ONE OF A KIND CREATIONS.

>> I LIKE WORKING WITH WOOD BECAUSE I LIKE TO RECYCLE THE WOOD THAT IS AROUND THE VALLEY HERE.

WHETHER IT'S ABSTRACT OR REALISM ART.

I LOOK AT MY PAST EXPERIENCE IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND THE CULTURE OF MAN, WHETHER IT BE CULTURE OR PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND THEN I TRY TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE WOOD WHETHER IT BE NATIVE AMERICAN IMAGES OR IMAGES THAT PROJECT CERTAIN LIFESTYLES OF MAN.

THAT'S WHAT I CREATE MY WORK ON.

I STUDY THE WOOD AND WILL CREATE A SCULPTURE THAT WILL ENHANCE AND CREATE MY PIECES.

I LOVE IT.

A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I DO START WITH A PIECE OF WOOD SUCH AS A BLOCK, A LOG OR ASH OR WHATEVER THE TYPE OF WOOD IT MAY BE, AND I START TO WORK THE WOOD INTO THE SCULPTURE AND THEN I FIGURE OUT LATER ON THERE IS AN IMPERFECTION IN THE WOOD WHETHER IT BE A KNOT OR A SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOOD.

I JUST MAKE THAT PART OF THE SCULPTURE AND WORK WITH IT.

SOMETIMES IMPERFECTIONS IN A PIECE OF WOODEN HANSES MY SCULPTURE.

I DON'T USE ANY LIQUID STAINS AND I LIKE TO USE THE MORE NATURAL STAINS AND I LIKE THE MORE NATURAL FINISH TO ENHANCE THE WOOD GRAIN AND ALSO THE WOOD.

WHEN I DO FINISH THE WOOD AS FAR AS WAXED IN IT, AND IT'S ALL WAXED AND HAND POLISHED.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN THE ARTS, BUT LATER ON I DEVELOPED THAT INTEREST INTO MORE OF THE MUSEUM FIELD, AND NOW THAT I'M RETIRED I CAN GO BACK INTO THE ART FIELD AND SHARE IT WITH MY FELLOW ARTISTS AND WITH THE COMMUNITY IN THE VALLEY.

>> SAM AND STEWART ARE IN THE GROUP SWEET TEETH, ONE IS A CELLIST AND THE OTHER ROCKS OUT ON A GUITAR.

BROAD & HIGH PRESENTS RECORDING, WE QUICKLY DISCOVERED HOW THE OFF-KILTER PAIRING FINDS BALANCE.

[ music ] [ music ] IT'S SO COOL I CAN'T EVEN PICTURE IT BETTER BROKE THE RULES IT'S SO FINE SO EVERYONE KNOWS IT'S MY TIME, MY REFLECTION GETS TO BE SHOWN [ music ] [ music ] I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE FUTURE [ music ] [ music ] IS IT TRUE THAT ONCE YOU GO THERE'S NO COMING BACK " FROM THE SCHOOL IT WILL MACH YOU WRECK M [ music ] YOU KNOW THAT IT IS EASIER TO STAY THEY TRY TO SATISFY, AND BUILD A SHELTER AT HOME I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE OCEAN YEAH [ music ] [ music ] EVERY TIME I GO I'VE GOT A FEELING ESCAPING FROM MY BODY AND THINKING OF JOY I KNOW MYSELF [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE OCEAN [ music ] YEAH BUT I GUESS WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] >> TO LEARN MORE FROM THESE TWO, FIND THEM ON FACEBOOK AT SWEET TEETH COLUMBUS OR ON INSTAGRAM ON SWEETTEETHBAND.
