Danny Joe Rose-Segment 2

We continue the conversation as Danny Joe talks about his life journey and what inspired him to become an artist and about early experiences that have informed his artwork over the years. We then hear from him about a trip to Indonesia to teach art and design and about how it changed his life in so many ways. He talks about how he found himself there through his experiences in fully immersing himself in the people and in the culture despite the difficulties in communicating verbally with people there due to language differences. He reflects on how his artistic practice grew there with a deepening of his self-reflection while doing his work and on how he enjoyed the process of just making things for the sake of making them and not worrying about the outcome or what he would do with the finished pieces. As we continue to discuss these experiences and how they have affected him, we hear from him about how the language barriers allowed him to relate to others on a different level. He also shares about how he really enjoyed the personal growth that came from being open to connecting with people despite the fear and discomfort with the challenges in communicating with them verbally. We wrap up this segment talking with him about how all of his artwork is inspired and affected by all of the places that he has been and all that he has experienced. He then shares his thoughts about how works of art, even if they are abstract ones, bring what is experienced in the mind into the physical realm and how the unconscious mind influences works of art in such a powerful way.
