“Well, during the second discovery consultation, there was a major breakthrough where Jeremiah scrapped the initial plan and had me write an extensive "Favorite of Favorites" list, as he called it. I still reference this list even today. After having worked so closely in production for a major artist for five years, I had no real grasp on what I even liked or who I was as an artist. So Jeremiah gave me prompts for me to write down my top 3 favorite artists, musicians, songs, and art pieces. Coming from largely a painting background, out of 12 artists and artworks, I wrote down only 1 painter. This completely shocked me because, for one, it helped me see how little I was paying attention to my own creative needs and longings, and second this list began to point me in a new performance, musical, and installation direction my heart had truly desired but mostly ignored. I'm wondering if not for Jeremiah would this new exciting direction in creative practice have just remained in my subconscious? Thanks, Jeremiah!”
