0:27BHow do you interpret the white space?

0:29CThe white space is your creative space, coming back to nothing and starting from there, being able to create whatever it is that you want in that white space.

0:38BOkay, you’re cooking right now, you’re cooking right now. Keep going.

0:39CI’m just saying, there’s nothing on there, there’s nothing on there. You’re in the white space and you’re able, you’re free to let your mind roam and jump in and do whatever it is that you want to do, create whatever you want to create. Good stuff.

0:52BAnd that was her game in the world, she said?

0:53CThat was her game in the world, and she did her art because she took the criticism of of, of people that she kept getting about she didn’t have any. She was like, you got everything in there and there’s no white space. And she started -- she just, she sat with that. She did the stop, give up what’s in the listening, and she started -- she just sat with it and she started to create, which was -- look what -- look at what she created. She got a whole store with different artists and not even one version of just painting. It’s, it’s painting, it’s plates, it’s cups, it’s, it’s shirts. It’s, it’s a whole store of different array of --
