In episode two, I speak with Laura Torres, a multi-disciplinary artist who has worked in sculpture, installation, film, and performance. She is a former member of the Atlantic Works Gallery in Boston, MA. Now based in Chicago, IL, Laura focuses on tightwire training, performing and coaching beginning wirewalkers.
At the time of our interview, in December 2018, Laura was working in non-profit fundraising in the field of art and design higher education. She has since quit that job in order to focus more time on her creative practice. Look for a bonus episode later in summer 2019.

In the interview, Laura mentions Aloft Loft, where she trains. We also discussed Jerry Saltz's 33 Rules for Being an Artist.
