#16: Creating Your Perfect Storm — RISD's Kyna Leski
from Everyday Radio Hosted by Cornelius McGrath
PROVIDENCE, RI — My guest today is Kyna Leski. Rhode Island Hall of Famer and RISD legend Kyna was introduced to me two years ago by a great friend and mentor, Heather McGowan. Heather told me that Kyna was the single most impactful professor she ever had. I didn’t need any more encouragement. Unfortunately, we were ships passing in the night back in 2019. But I vowed on my next return to Providence that I would reach out. And so, I was absolutely thrilled that this time it worked out and that Kyna was able to come and speak to our school members during a live podcast discussion during our Rhode Island retreat. In this episode, we dive deep into how Kyna thinks about creativity as a storm, what it means to be shipwrecked, the role that language plays in helping you see things, make connections and ultimately conceive of creations that don’t yet exist. All the while staying rooted in your purpose and using your personal biography as your compass. I can firmly say that this was more than worth the wait. Without further ado, here’s Kyna Leski.
