I remember being that kid that, 09:39.278 --> 09:42.281 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% for the first time heard Beethoven, 09:42.281 --> 09:43.716 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% for the first time heard Mozart, 09:43.716 --> 09:46.018 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% for the first time heard any kind of music, 09:47.987 --> 09:51.390 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and I will be amazed and always had that curiosity 09:51.390 --> 09:54.226 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% to know how is this all about. 09:56.495 --> 10:01.434 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% How you actually are able to make that music possible. 10:01.434 --> 10:02.635 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - They have a lot of expression 10:02.635 --> 10:04.103 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and they're really fun people. 10:04.103 --> 10:07.106 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% They're just like outgoing and like loud and obnoxious. 10:07.106 --> 10:10.443 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And so like, people think that if you play classical music, 10:10.443 --> 10:12.144 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% you're just kind of serious 10:12.144 --> 10:14.413 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% and like uptight and they weren't. 10:14.413 --> 10:17.216 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It was like just hanging out with your friends, 10:17.216 --> 10:18.751 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% but playing instruments. 10:20.953 --> 10:22.455 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - [Speaker] We're excited to hear you. 10:22.455 --> 10:23.456 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - [Speaker] You're ready? 10:23.456 --> 10:24.890 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Whenever you're ready. - Yep. 10:27.393 --> 10:30.796 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light orchestra music) 10:55.688 --> 10:57.289 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Starting out as a musician, 10:57.289 --> 11:00.559 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I don't think it's a totally rational decision. 11:04.430 --> 11:07.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - I think you need to have a certain level of obsession. 11:11.003 --> 11:14.640 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - I believe music and the arts are so incredibly important 11:14.640 --> 11:18.744 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because they express something that honestly, 11:18.744 --> 11:22.348 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% sometimes we as humans have difficulty 11:22.348 --> 11:24.984 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% coming up with the words to express, 11:24.984 --> 11:29.755 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% whether it's a feeling, yeah, an emotion, a character. 11:29.755 --> 11:34.827 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And also with our specific medium, the string quartet, 11:35.695 --> 11:38.230 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% basically what we do in concert 11:38.230 --> 11:40.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and when we work with students 11:40.566 --> 11:43.069 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% is we have a conversation on stage. 11:43.069 --> 11:45.638 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (sings melody) 11:48.674 --> 11:50.876 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And then occasionally one person, 11:50.876 --> 11:52.545 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you, for instance, would have (sings melody). 11:55.481 --> 11:58.184 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% It's a dialogue, right, back and forth. 11:58.184 --> 12:02.154 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - And for us to translate that into actual playing, 12:02.154 --> 12:03.656 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% you want make sure your bow 12:03.656 --> 12:06.459 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% always has more on the main beat. 12:06.459 --> 12:10.129 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So every time you see a bar line, just play with more bow. 12:10.129 --> 12:12.798 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And right after that, play with a little bit less bow 12:12.798 --> 12:15.034 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and a little bit less weight. 12:15.034 --> 12:16.469 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Okay, so before we get started, 12:16.469 --> 12:18.971 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% if we're gonna try this without a conductor, 12:18.971 --> 12:22.742 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% who becomes our initiator of, yes. 12:22.742 --> 12:24.143 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Have you practiced this already? 12:24.143 --> 12:25.044 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% - Yeah. 12:25.978 --> 12:27.346 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% - Yeah. (laughs) - Sorry. 12:29.215 --> 12:32.618 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light orchestra music) 12:37.623 --> 12:41.961 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - Music really has a way of like making me express myself 12:41.961 --> 12:44.864 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because I'm not so good at expressing feelings 12:44.864 --> 12:46.532 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% or anything or talking to people. 12:46.532 --> 12:49.568 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% And that's how I like communicate 12:49.568 --> 12:52.438 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and socialize with other people through music. 12:52.438 --> 12:56.575 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% (light orchestra music continues) 12:57.810 --> 12:59.111 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50% - Okay. - Very nice. 12:59.111 --> 13:01.914 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Where we stop, that's the end of the phrase 13:01.914 --> 13:03.082 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% from where you start. 13:03.082 --> 13:05.718 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So (sings melody) 13:08.120 --> 13:09.889 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% it's like you're reading a paragraph. 13:09.889 --> 13:13.292 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - So even if I was with my ears closed, 13:13.292 --> 13:15.795 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the bow is describing the hierarchy. 13:15.795 --> 13:20.132 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% So more bow, less, less, and more, less, less. 13:20.132 --> 13:21.634 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Can you try that? - So the down bow. 13:21.634 --> 13:23.335 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Can we try just the violas once? 13:23.335 --> 13:25.838 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Okay, so one, two, one. 13:25.838 --> 13:27.940 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light orchestra music) 13:27.940 --> 13:30.176 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And more, less, less, and more, less, less. 13:32.545 --> 13:34.480 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% And less than. 13:34.480 --> 13:36.015 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% That's it, you got it. - Nice! 13:36.015 --> 13:37.383 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - That's what I wanted. 13:37.383 --> 13:38.651 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% That's what I wanted. - Also, the cue was great. 13:38.651 --> 13:41.654 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - I learned that since I'm the first violin, 13:41.654 --> 13:43.789 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I kind of have to be the leader of the group. 13:43.789 --> 13:48.160 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And so in the piece that we worked with the Harlem Quartet, 13:48.160 --> 13:49.195 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% like whenever I count off, 13:49.195 --> 13:50.596 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% it's like a nod and then- 13:50.596 --> 13:53.165 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light violin music) 13:53.165 --> 13:54.500 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% And you do that. 13:54.500 --> 13:56.335 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And then in another one of our songs, 13:56.335 --> 13:57.603 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% we have a long note, 13:57.603 --> 14:00.005 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% then it's the same thing with like a nod. 14:00.005 --> 14:00.873 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% You play the note and- 14:00.873 --> 14:02.908 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light violin music) 14:02.908 --> 14:04.944 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - So when you have to go more, 14:06.278 --> 14:09.181 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% you actually need to play with the same amount of bow, 14:09.181 --> 14:10.683 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% the same amount, 14:10.683 --> 14:11.951 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% because you need to come back to the same place, right? 14:11.951 --> 14:14.286 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% So weight, less. 14:14.286 --> 14:16.188 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light violin music) 14:16.188 --> 14:17.523 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% You almost come down to that, 14:17.523 --> 14:19.158 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but if you come back with the same weight, 14:19.158 --> 14:20.125 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% this is the result. 14:20.125 --> 14:23.762 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light violin music) 14:23.762 --> 14:26.765 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So I don't really understand which one is more important. 14:26.765 --> 14:28.267 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And for them it's always like that. 14:28.267 --> 14:30.369 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light violin music) 14:30.369 --> 14:32.404 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% No, sorry, less, more. 14:34.440 --> 14:38.844 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% You see, I do the same amount of bow, but a lot lighter. 14:38.844 --> 14:40.045 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - I never really worked 14:40.045 --> 14:42.014 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% with a professional orchestra before, 14:42.014 --> 14:43.282 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% not even in middle school. 14:43.282 --> 14:47.486 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% So it was really like understandable 14:47.486 --> 14:50.789 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and more learning and more having experience with them too. 14:50.789 --> 14:52.691 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Remember, music is mathematics. 14:52.691 --> 14:53.959 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% So two, one. 14:53.959 --> 14:56.862 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (sings melody) 14:56.862 --> 14:58.697 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So divide with, listen to them 14:58.697 --> 15:01.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and then you play the music or your part with the line. 15:01.700 --> 15:02.768 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Okay, one more time. 15:04.203 --> 15:07.606 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light orchestra music) 15:12.344 --> 15:13.779 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - I love working with students 15:13.779 --> 15:16.682 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because now that I am a little bit older, 15:16.682 --> 15:20.252 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I recognize that they really are the future 15:20.252 --> 15:24.056 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and it's fun to know that we're getting to sculpt a way 15:24.056 --> 15:27.226 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% that they can identify themselves, 15:27.226 --> 15:29.428 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% perhaps as a musician if it's going to be, 15:29.428 --> 15:31.897 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% or just one day being a leader, 15:31.897 --> 15:33.365 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% but embracing their voice 15:33.365 --> 15:35.834 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and being confident in what their voice is 15:35.834 --> 15:39.705 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and knowing that they have the power to influence people 15:39.705 --> 15:43.208 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and affect people, which is what we do as musicians. 15:43.208 --> 15:47.446 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% (light orchestra music continues) 15:51.850 --> 15:53.118 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% - Smile. 15:53.118 --> 15:54.853 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (all laughing) 15:54.853 --> 15:55.888 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (teachers applauding) 15:55.888 --> 15:56.989 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Nice job, everybody. 15:56.989 --> 15:58.557 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Okay, stand up and take a bow. 15:58.557 --> 16:00.693 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - I love getting together with a bunch of other people 16:00.693 --> 16:04.563 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% that also love music and then creating music altogether. 16:04.563 --> 16:06.498 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Because when you're with a bunch of people 16:06.498 --> 16:09.568 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% that also love music, you can create something beautiful. 16:10.769 -->

many of the smuggling networks that emerged. 16:38.197 --> 16:40.032 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% To the migrants whose lives were saved 16:40.032 --> 16:42.101 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and families restored, 16:42.101 --> 16:45.938 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% these criminal organizations served a humanitarian purpose. 16:45.938 --> 16:48.474 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% A migrant who followed this route later told his story 16:48.474 --> 16:51.143 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% under the fictitious name, Lewis Kirland. 16:51.143 --> 16:56.081 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% "We lay in the boat like herring in a barrel," Kirland said. 16:56.081 --> 16:57.783 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% "It was very hot 16:57.783 --> 17:00.686 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and the heat from our bodies made it hotter. 17:00.686 --> 17:03.822 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I am ready to go to hell if I have to. 17:03.822 --> 17:06.425 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It cannot be any worse than that day in the boat." 17:08.093 --> 17:10.562 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (light music) 17:10.562 --> 17:13.599 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - We're here in Key West with the author Arlo Haskell. 17:13.599 --> 17:17.736 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So tell us a little bit about how you evolved as a writer. 17:17.736 --> 17:19.671 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - I really came up as a poet, 17:19.671 --> 17:22.775 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and then about 10 years ago I had started 17:22.775 --> 17:25.077 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to do a little bit of historical research 17:25.077 --> 17:28.313 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% looking into the kind of literary histories of writers 17:28.313 --> 17:29.848 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% who had spent time in Key West 17:29.848 --> 17:33.485 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and learned that I kind of loved getting into archives. 17:33.485 --> 17:36.622 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% In addition to being a writer, historian, 17:36.622 --> 17:39.091 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I'm the Executive Director of the Key West Literary Seminar. 17:39.091 --> 17:41.226 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I get to make sure that literary Key West 17:41.226 --> 17:43.028 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% is not just part of the past. 17:43.028 --> 17:46.265 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I also, I run a small press, Sand Taper Press, 17:46.265 --> 17:49.568 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and we publish poetry, a little bit of fiction. 17:49.568 --> 17:53.639 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I'm sort of always working on one book or another. 17:53.639 --> 17:54.573 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - [Interviewer] Your latest book 17:54.573 --> 17:55.841 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% is called "The Jews of Key West: 17:55.841 --> 17:59.244 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Smugglers, Cigar Makers, and Revolutionaries." 17:59.244 --> 18:02.181 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - Jews have thrived in this climate since the 1820s, 18:02.181 --> 18:04.049 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% even where they have been forgotten 18:04.049 --> 18:07.786 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% or where anonymity was essential to their survival. 18:07.786 --> 18:10.789 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Jews have shaped the island we know today. 18:10.789 --> 18:13.725 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Their history is the history of Key West. 18:14.693 --> 18:17.429 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I'm fascinated by untold histories 18:17.429 --> 18:19.231 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and this book is full of that. 18:19.231 --> 18:21.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% My first phase of research was kind of trying 18:21.500 --> 18:25.037 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to like fact check family stories like that. 18:25.037 --> 18:26.472 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - One of the things I found surprising 18:26.472 --> 18:28.640 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% and had no idea about was that Jews 18:28.640 --> 18:30.742 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% were part of the industry of cigars down here. 18:30.742 --> 18:32.244 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - The cigar industry 18:32.244 --> 18:36.115 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% is one of the more popular components of Key West history, 18:36.115 --> 18:38.917 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and it's always told as a Cuban story. 18:38.917 --> 18:41.019 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You know, it's certainly a big Cuban story, 18:41.019 --> 18:45.224 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% but actually, in fact, the cigar industry in Key West 18:45.224 --> 18:47.559 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% was pioneered by Jewish manufacturers, 18:47.559 --> 18:50.262 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% particularly a guy named Samuel Seidenberg, 18:50.262 --> 18:53.899 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% who capitalized on a tariff structure 18:53.899 --> 18:55.968 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% that made it financially advantageous 18:55.968 --> 18:58.904 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% to produce cigars domestically in the United States 18:58.904 --> 19:01.607 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% rather than on the island of Cuba. 19:01.607 --> 19:02.975 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - So one of the main characters 19:02.975 --> 19:04.510 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that features in your book is named Louis Fine. 19:04.510 --> 19:08.313 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - Louis Fine was a Lithuanian Jewish immigrant, 19:08.313 --> 19:12.217 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and he was a real, was a catalyst for the community. 19:12.217 --> 19:15.387 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% He was not an ordained rabbi, 19:15.387 --> 19:18.690 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but he was the defacto rabbi for the community. 19:18.690 --> 19:20.292 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - So we're here in the Jewish section 19:20.292 --> 19:21.693 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% of the cemetery at Key West, 19:21.693 --> 19:25.998 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and this place sort of is one of the beginnings 19:25.998 --> 19:27.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% of organized Jewish life down here. 19:27.633 --> 19:28.867 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - [Arlo] This is the place 19:28.867 --> 19:30.736 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that brings you the furthest back in time 19:30.736 --> 19:32.804 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% as far as a physical place you can visit. 19:32.804 --> 19:34.039 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - [Interviewer] And in your research, 19:34.039 --> 19:35.641 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% did you see a lot of these names popping up? 19:35.641 --> 19:37.142 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - Yeah, absolutely. 19:37.142 --> 19:41.747 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I mean, I would sometimes come here as a research visit, 19:42.548 --> 19:43.882 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I found that it would help me 19:43.882 --> 19:46.418 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% thinking about the people I was writing about. 19:46.418 --> 19:48.554 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - So around the same time as this was established 19:48.554 --> 19:52.224 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70% was around when the first synagogue was established, right? 19:52.224 --> 19:53.358 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - That's right, yeah. 19:53.358 --> 19:55.961 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% The cemetery was established in the 1890s 19:55.961 --> 19:58.330 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and then in the first decade of the 1900s, 19:58.330 --> 20:02.434 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Lewis Fine and others purchased a wood frame building 20:02.434 --> 20:05.270 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and established the first formal synagogue. 20:05.270 --> 20:06.538 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% There's a restaurant there today 20:06.538 --> 20:08.907 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% called Sarah Beth's and B'Nai Zion is the temple 20:08.907 --> 20:11.310 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% that continues in Key West today on United Street. 20:11.310 --> 20:12.244 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% - [Interviewer] And that's the one 20:12.244 --> 20:13.645 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that opened in the late '60s. 20:14.613 --> 20:17.049 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (bright music) 20:17.049 --> 20:18.917 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% - Into this thriving, 20:18.917 --> 20:23.021 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% multicultural multilingual community of Key West, 20:23.021 --> 20:24.790 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% in the late 19th century 20:24.790 --> 20:28.160 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% comes a very pivotal figure in Cuban history, 20:28.160 --> 20:30.562 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Jose Marti, who was the one 20:30.562 --> 20:33.699 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to kind of successfully crystallize 20:33.699 --> 20:38.170 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% the decades-long struggle for Cuban independence. 20:38.170 --> 20:42.140 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Jews like Louis Fine, they lent their support to the cause. 20:42.140 --> 20:46.111 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% He carried this family legacy of having been, 20:46.111 --> 20:48.747 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% his family having been persecuted by the Spanish 20:48.747 --> 20:50.282 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% during the Inquisition. 20:50.282 --> 20:52.985 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% What surprised me is how much that story 20:52.985 --> 20:55.387 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and others had disappeared, 20:55.387 --> 20:58.323 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% even from oral history in Key West. 20:58.323 --> 20:59.791 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Where can people find out more 20:59.791 --> 21:01.093 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% about "The Jews of Key West"? 21:01.093 --> 21:03.629 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - There's a website, jewsofkeywest.com 21:03.629

--> 21:08.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I would say go to your local bookstore 21:08.333 --> 21:11.436 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% or your local library and ask for a

21:20.479 --> 21:23.548 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Reno, Nevada artist Susan Handau's canvases 21:23.548 --> 21:25.884 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% are of a minimalistic nature. 21:25.884 --> 21:27.452 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% With color and texture, 21:27.452 --> 21:29.688 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% she creates abstract, organic shapes 21:29.688 --> 21:31.390 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% surrounded by neutral hues. 21:33.392 --> 21:36.061 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (light music) 21:40.499 --> 21:44.569 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - My name is Susan Handau and I'm an abstract artist. 21:44.569 --> 21:47.005 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% I work in mixed media. 21:47.005 --> 21:51.610 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I do acrylic, oil, sometimes wax, 21:51.610 --> 21:55.480 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I put gypsum, mix it with glue for texture, 21:55.480 --> 21:59.518 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and sometimes I cut up paintings and sew 'em back together. 22:02.254 --> 22:04.589 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% I do color blocking. 22:04.589 --> 22:07.993 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% It's just blocks of color that are scratched away. 22:07.993 --> 22:09.795 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's an organic kind of shape. 22:09.795 --> 22:11.730 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's not like a square anymore. 22:11.730 --> 22:15.334 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I've been chipping away at it, scratching away at it, 22:15.334 --> 22:17.069 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and then I'll do the border 22:17.069 --> 22:19.237 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% or the background in a neutral color. 22:21.273 --> 22:24.643 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I can't really say, well, that's a tree or something, 22:24.643 --> 22:27.412 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% or that's like even like a box or something. 22:27.412 --> 22:30.415 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You kind of say, "Oh, it almost looks like this," 22:30.415 --> 22:32.984 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% but no, it's not. 22:36.321 --> 22:39.558 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (light upbeat music) 22:43.628 --> 22:45.030 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% When I start a painting, 22:45.030 --> 22:48.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% all I know is that I'm going to do color blocking 22:48.200 --> 22:51.703 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and really, I do a layer of colors upon colors 22:53.905 --> 22:55.841 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and then I put the gypsum in. 22:55.841 --> 22:58.110 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I call it mud, you know, it's not really mud, 22:58.110 --> 23:01.747 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% but I just put the mud down there to build the texture up. 23:01.747 --> 23:06.251 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And then you can see that it cracks a lot, it dries. 23:06.251 --> 23:08.887 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And then I start putting a different color on there 23:08.887 --> 23:11.857 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and push the color around in the cracks. 23:12.991 --> 23:14.760 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Then I'll paint another color over top of it, 23:14.760 --> 23:17.262 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and then the one color will stay in the crack. 23:17.262 --> 23:18.663 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% And then I really scrape it. 23:18.663 --> 23:20.465 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I start scraping and marking. 23:20.465 --> 23:22.267 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% And that's where the fun comes in, 23:22.267 --> 23:25.404 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because then you get different layers that pop out. 23:32.644 --> 23:34.079 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So that's my canvases. 23:34.079 --> 23:35.380 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% So with my paper, 23:35.380 --> 23:37.082 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that's a whole different story. 23:37.082 --> 23:39.618 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% With my paper, I'll put a little texture on there, 23:39.618 --> 23:42.954 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and then I'll do the same kind of thing with the paint, 23:42.954 --> 23:45.590 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the color blocking, and then when I get it just so, 23:45.590 --> 23:46.858 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% just how I like it, 23:46.858 --> 23:49.494 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% then I cut it up, I actually cut the paper, 23:49.494 --> 23:52.130 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and then I sew it onto another piece of paper. 23:53.865 --> 23:55.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And then I'll just see how it goes 23:55.333 --> 23:58.003 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and I don't really ever have anything planned. 24:00.939 --> 24:02.908 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Color to me is pretty important. 24:02.908 --> 24:05.911 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% When I'm mixing colors to find an unusual color, 24:05.911 --> 24:07.712 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% bizarre color combinations 24:07.712 --> 24:11.216 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% or ones that really you don't expect to see together. 24:14.052 --> 24:16.021 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% And then of course, shape. 24:16.021 --> 24:18.523 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% I really like to cut away at an image 24:18.523 --> 24:20.158 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% to make it really more organic. 24:22.794 --> 24:27.332 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% If it's not right in my mind, I can't show it. 24:28.567 --> 24:31.470 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Just keep working on it till it's right for me. 24:31.470 --> 24:33.271 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Even then, after a show, 24:33.271 --> 24:36.041 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% if a painting doesn't feel right, I'll change it. 24:36.041 --> 24:37.309 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% I'll paint over it. 24:37.309 --> 24:39.244 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I've painted over so many paintings. 24:39.244 --> 24:41.880 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% This one behind me, 24:41.880 --> 24:44.616 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that's like, there might be two or three paintings 24:44.616 --> 24:45.517 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% under that one. 24:48.420 --> 24:50.155 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I really like beautiful things. 24:50.155 --> 24:52.591 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% And that's like my goal is to, 24:52.591 --> 24:54.726 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% for myself, to really like it. 24:54.726 --> 24:57.729 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Then I'm so proud of it because I love it so much. 24:58.630 --> 25:01.099 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% When somebody buys my painting, 25:01.099 --> 25:05.170 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I'm like, "Oh my gosh, they feel the same way I fell." 25:06.371 --> 25:07.472 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's not the money thing, 25:07.472 --> 25:09.474 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% it's the fact that, 25:09.474 --> 25:12.277 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% "Wow, somebody really likes what I
