What was the first piece of art you made, if you remember?
21:06
Well, I don't remember the first piece I made, but I do remember my first two art memories, because they were pure art memories.
21:14
One, I was two and a half, and I remember that my little baby finger, I could see my baby finger in my brain here, my little baby finger, there's three teeny, like the size of peas, balls, and they're on a little wire, and my baby finger is flicking at them, so they roll on this bar.
21:30
They're all the same, except they're different colors.
21:32
My baby brain didn't know colors then, but they were different.
21:35
And I remember how beautiful they were, how the engineering of how they turned on that little silver bar and how pretty they looked when they spun.
21:44
And then all of a sudden, within my eyeshot, rolls in front of me on the ground, a ball.
