Great Interview, I listened on the way to day job. Loved the comments on shoebox panoramas... brought back some memories. Loved making those. I really liked hearing about Steve’s thoughts on collaboration too. Also on having people stop and do a double take on the old ruins sculpture... :) ... hoping to one day have the same “double take” or a “slowing stride... with the eyes of wonder look” results on a large sculpture of my own someday. Sure do appreciate how this podcast, and others Pal Tiya has done, help keep my creative mind going and inspire me to keep working on projects after family and day job time. Thank you to Pal Tiya and all the artists for sharing their experiences. Mike
