I gave a speech at Spirit United Church on Nov 15th. This is the story I shared:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">My name is Liza Sylvestre. I’m 32 years old and I work as an artist professionally. At the moment I am also 29 weeks pregnant with my first child and I am very aware of the transition of my thought process, my body, and my life as I become a mother. I also grew up loosing my hearing. Although right now I may seem to function (and mostly sound) like a normal hearing person, I am medically deaf. I am completely dependent on this little device behind my ear, which is called a cochlear implant. When my battery dies, or a when a small part of my implant is in need of repair - I’m immediately plunged into deafness. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">My parents first discovered that I was loosing my hearing when I was 6 years old. At that time I had only a mild hearing loss affecting the very highest of pitches - things like birds singing or whistling. It took us a while to figure out that my hearing loss was actually a progressive one, and it took us even longer to figure out that it was my own immune system that was causing this loss. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The anatomy of the human ear is amazing. Beyond your ear drum there is this really beautifully shaped crevice called the cochlea. It looks exactly like a snail shell. The cochlea is lined with hundreds of thousands of microscopic hair follicles. Each one of these hair follicles responds to a certain pitch of sound from high to low. When a sound wave, or frequency, enters the cochlea the corresponding hair follicle will also wave and that movement sends a signal to your audial nerve and then your brain. When you listen to really loud music these little hair follicles literally get flattened by the force of that music. Eventually, most of them perk back up and function again but several hundred of them will stay trampled and flattened and non functional - which is how you loose your hearing going to lots and lots of rock concerts. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Now, in my case, my own immune system was killing off these amazing little hair follicles. This discovery was followed by several years of unsuccessful medical intervention - I was given medications to surpress my immune system, I had biopsies to make sure this defect of my body wasn’t affecting any of my organs, I had vials and vials of blood drawn and tested, and I had lots and lots of appointments with immunologists, ENT docs and of course monthly (and sometimes weekly) audiogram tests to chart and record everything.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">My family and I spent a lot of time at the doctor’s office. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Looking back - I can see my parents desperately fighting the inevitable. It was a really emotional time, and I was very aware of the effect that <i>my</i> medical problem was having on my entire family. At the same time it was hard for me to grasp what was really going on. What does it mean to be loosing ones hearing? How does an elementary school aged person understand something like that? What can you do to make your mom and dad happy again? What can you do to make sure your younger sister isn’t bored while you wait for your test results? How do you prepare? When would this “deafness thing” happen anyway? What would the world be like without sound? How would I communicate with my family and friends? How would I communicate with strangers? How would I be able to work? How much does one really need their hearing anyway?</span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I still don’t necessarily have the answers to any of these questions. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">What I do know is this: </span></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">There are far worse things that can happen to a person than the loss of their hearing. - I’ve never fought cancer or any other life threatening illness, I’ve never witnessed, or lived with extreme suffering. I grew up with supportive parents and doctors who wanted to “help”, even if they couldn’t. Overall, I’ve had it pretty good.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Some things are going to happen no matter what you attempt to do to prevent them from happening. The best doctors in the world, and the most expensive medications and treatments were not going to stop me from loosing my hearing. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Growing up beneath the shadow cast by my impending deafness has made me sensitive to the world and to others. I am aware of my surroundings in a way that I wouldn’t be if I were a normal hearing person. I sense other’s discomfort, I know who is listening and who is not, I know when people feel excluded. I can read lips from across the room - a tool my classmates utilized in the lunch room to unearth the latest gossip. I also trust and appreciate people who slow down enough to actually listen, as opposed to just going through the motions of communicating.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Language equals culture. When you grow up as a hard of hearing person in a hearing family, in a hearing school, and in a hearing world, it is easy to feel alone and excluded. I do know American Sign Language but I don’t really have anyone in my life to use it with. What good is a language if it isn’t shared? When I do hang out with deaf people I feel like I’m visiting another country. Although there are exceptions, and times when I do make connections with deaf people - overall I don’t belong to the deaf world any more than I belong to a room full of football players. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I grew up with one “solution” in mind - my family and doctors drew up a plan - when my hearing got bad enough I would just get a cochlear implant. It wasn’t exactly presented as “problem solver”, I knew that there was a good chance that everyone in my life would sound like Daffy Duck after receiving my implant, because that was exactly how post-implant sound was described by my doctors. But the overall consensus was that cochlear implants were what you got when you became deaf. It was your lifeline to the world and all of the people you know that live in the world. And so in 2003 I bit the bullet and underwent a 4 hour long surgery and woke up with a cochlear implant. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I love my cochlear implant. I love that in certain settings, with minimal background noise, and a voice that is familiar to me I can communicate almost like a normal hearing person. But when one signs up for a cochlear implant they are also signing up for a lot of work. Make no mistake - people with cochlear implants are still profoundly hard of hearing and when you are hard of hearing attempting to function in a hearing world the weight of communication always lies on your shoulders. It’s always going to be easier for the other person. Always. So in a very real way living life with a cochlear implant is like signing up for a daily battle. It’s exhausting. Communication is mentally exhausting. At the end of the day someone with a hearing loss has certainly worked harder to understand and get through their day than a normal hearing person. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Don’t get me wrong, like I said I love my cochlear implant but I often wonder if I would have a more whole sense of belonging if I had not gotten it. In a way a cochlear implant is like a big band aid - it enforces a certain type of communication that exists only in the hearing world and it allows you to <i>jus</i>t hang on to that world. But in many ways it doesn’t allow one to deal with their deafness, because they just continue communicating they way they always have. It also feels confusing to the person receiving the cochlear implant - are they a deaf person or a hearing person? If they are a hearing person, why is it so hard to communicate? And if they are a deaf person, why is it so hard to communicate? And where are all of these deaf people to communicate with?</span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">If I hadn’t received a cochlear implant then I would be 100% a deaf person and I would use American Sign Language with ease and I would have people to use that language with. I want you to think about this next time you see one of those emotionally charged youtube videos that circulate the web. The ones that show people’s cochlear implants being turned on for the first time. Those videos upset me because they paint a picture about cochlear implants as being miraculous problem solvers. Hearing a sound with a cochlear implant is very very different from hearing enough sounds to put together a word or a sentence. The reality is more complicated and a lot more work. </span></span></div>

I've been busy and <a href="https://instagram.com/liza_sylvestre/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> has taken over most of my digital record-making. But there's something nice about a blog, isn't there?

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">* FUNDRAISING for Creating Language Through Arts. We received another grant to continue our Arts Residencies that focus on using art as a language when there are communication barriers present due to hearing loss. Our new Metropolitan Regional Arts Council grant requires that we provide some matching funds so we are fundraising left and right! If you are able to contribute (even $10!) we will be eternally grateful. <a href="https://www.givemn.org/fundraiser/creating-language-through-arts54fdadc30e20c" target="_blank">You can do so HERE.</a> (These are some of our Third grade students)</span><br />

AOV is an intensive, mentor-based fellowship program for 5 Minnesota based emerging artists working experimentally at the interstion of art and technology. Myself, along with artists Eric F. Avery, Torre Edahl, Jessica Henderson and Joshua McGarvy will participate in a year-long program that will culminate in an exhibition at <a href="http://www.soapfactory.org/" target="_blank">The Soap Factory</a> in the Spring of 2016.

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">* Exploring new media- in January of this year I created a video that has been a long time in the making. This endeavor combines my love of writing with video performance and story telling and draws heavily on my experience growing up with a profound and progressive hearing loss. You can click <a href="https://vimeo.com/116583674" target="_blank">here to view it on vimeo. </a></span><br />

So far my attempts to deliberately change the way I make art has been both challenging and rewarding. Change is a heavy thing and has its own order. All I can say about these new pieces is that they feel distressed, un-done, weathered, unraveled. Maybe I need to literally demolish these pieces in order to grow?</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I spent the past year cranking out work for a bunch of deadlines. This was both a good learning experience and excruciatingly stressful. Moving forward with new work this year. I am focusing on intentionally making changes in how I work and what I am aesthetically producing. I want to risk more, tear up all of my old tendencies/habits and build some new ones. </span></div>

Yep, thats right, up until a few weeks ago I had a phone that wouldn't do anything beyond texting. I will be using my new instagram account as a blog with daily shots of my studio and the things I'm working on. To celebrate I have joined forces with <a href="http://www.pigmamicron.com/" target="_blank">Sakura</a>, the makers of the micron pens I use in almost all of my artwork, to create a giveaway. If you follow @liza_sylvestre and @sakuraofamerica on instagram you will automatically be entered to win a Pigma Artist Gift Set (valued at $170) and a limited edition fine art print from me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Also, Sakura created an awesome new website and they included a feature on my work, which you can see <a href="http://www.pigmamicron.com/lizasylvestre/" target="_blank">HERE. </a></span><br />

This cabin is owned by some dear family friends. They have owned the land since they graduated from college in the 60s and everything, absolutely everything, is hand built. They have repeatedly decided not to hook the place up to "the grid" so everything is generator and propane run. It is an amazing place and I feel lucky to have been able to visit it throughout my childhood. This past summer we got to stay in the "grown up" sleeping cabin which is nestled on the edge of a cliff. We woke up every morning to the sun rising on the private bay and the loons calling. Here are some photos from our stay. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Mostly I have been working this summer. I had three deadlines(two of them major) back to back to back and although I learned a lot, it wasn't much fun. And now the days start and end in a cool curve that is not summer and I prepare to teach again and take comfort in the fact that the year ahead of me will be calmer and full of just one really big project that I am so damn excited about. </span>Liza Sylvestrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13343586858532453561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015575389137956387.post-89692949819042578082014-09-03T00:49:00.000-04:002014-09-03T00:50:03.844-04:00Enormous Tiny Art 16 at Nahcotta<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My solo show "Elements Unheard" opened at the MacRostie Art Center last Friday. It was a great night with an impressive crowd and I didn't pass out during my artist talk, so that's good.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span">It has been a year of deadlines and lots and lots of time in the studio working. I am thankful to have work that I love and spaces to show that work in. I'm thankful to be an artist working in the state of Minnesota. I am thankful to have been awarded a Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant to complete the work for this show. I am thankful to have a partner who believes in me and who understands what it means to be an artist and who was right there while I went through the highs and lows of creating all of this work. </span><br />

It was important to me that I explore some larger scaled works for this show. These are acrylic paintings and they are very much paintings (with none of the drawing that is found in my mixed media work). I loved the experience of engaging more of my whole body during the creation of these pieces. I loved that it was a lot of physical work and that I would ache by the end of the day. I loved that at night I would close my eyes and see colors blooming before I drifted off to sleep. Feels like the beginning of something I want to explore more.<br />

My solo show Elements Unheard opens at the <a href="http://macrostieartcenter.org/" target="_blank">MacRostie Art Cente</a>r in Grand Rapids, MN next month.<br />

I am lucky and honored to say that I received an Artist Initiative Grant from the MN State Arts Board to produce the work for this show which is a visual investigation of my senses and how I experience my self and the world through them. Below is the Artist Statement I have produced for this show:<br />
<br />
<div style="font: 15.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 14.0px 0.0px;">
<i>My artwork is the result of an intuitive process and is a reflection of the space I enter when I am creating. I lean over my paintings, a stiffness in the tips of my fingers. I carry my body around. I write my body down. Fiber by fiber. Cell by cell. The hours are long and I have never been more aware of how my good body aches. </i></div>
<div style="font: 15.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 14.0px 0.0px;">
<i>My experience of the world has been altered and defined by a significant and progressive hearing loss that started in early childhood. It is a distinct lens through which I perceive my self and the world. Through this latest body of work I am conducting a visual investigation of my senses and how my body experiences these senses. What does sound look like? How does it move through my body? How do my senses attach themselves to each other and mix up? </i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Since January I have been working with two amazing ladies, Angela Olson and Canae Weiss, teaching art classes at a public arts magnet elementary school in St. Paul. The three of us come from different artistic backgrounds and we have varying hearing abilities/disabilities. Together we are teaching both mainstream and Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing students that art is a means of communication that transcends barriers presented by hearing abilities/inabilities. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is a project that I have been dreaming about for years. And now, thanks to the Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Learning Grant, it is real and in full swing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have just started a blog which will document our work. If you'd like you can see it here: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><b style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://createmovecommunicate.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">http://createmovecommunicate.blogspot.com/</span></a></b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Below is an example of one of our lesson plans.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 18px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 18px;"><b>Emotions and Art</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">I recently led a lesson plan about emotions and art. Each class started with a discussion about emotions - what are the different emotions we feel? How do these emotions show up in artwork? I showed examples of how different artists throughout history have shown emotions through their artwork - either through their subject matter, symbolism, color, or the body language of the figures in their artwork. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Then students were asked to make traces of their bodies - I asked them to use their body shapes to convey an emotion that they wanted to express. And then I gave them plenty of time to color in their body shapes. Students were asked to put different things inside their body shapes - things that make them happy, or colors that make them feel a certain emotion. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">It was pretty cool to see what these young people came up with!</span></span><br />

Predominantly borne from the beauty of natural elements, these transcendentally gorgeous works are evocative of an elusive, mysterious recombinant - exotic flora coalesced with the intricacies of our inner organs. Glovinski’s “Phone Book Series,” ink, graphite, colored pencil, and acrylic on paper, speak to the artist’s long-time fascination with the quotidian elements “so woven into our everyday experience they are often rendered invisible.” Glovinski cleverly recreates these objects, whether they are phone books or rags or plastic swimming pools, showing how they, in actuality, unite us all. She has shown her work throughout Boston and Maine, as well as London, England. Venice, California artist Ned Evans’s resin wall reliefs are part of his ongoing exploration of form to negative space, touching upon the wonderful translucency of poured resin in his hand-shaped, bright white polyurethane foam vessels. A lifelong surfer, Evans’s paintings, works on paper, and resin reliefs share elements of fluidity and radiance, with light glowing from an indiscernible and captivating, source. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1. Working at some odd hour of the night.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">2. Writing about working.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">3. I mix paint in these little tubes. They are awesome for storing paint and also for their application.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">4. Microns!!! My pen of choice. I've tried so many others, but the weight and length and everything else is perfect...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">5. More writing about work.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">6. More writing, but not my own. These are my favorite books at the moment. Especially <a href="http://ohbara.com/portfolio/" target="_blank"><i>Her Book</i> by Eireann Lorsung</a>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Last night I dreamt that I was diving into a pool over and over again. I stood on the side with my toes hanging over the ledge and made an incredible jump up, a turn, and a deep plunge down, down, down into the water. While I was underwater I kept moving downward, it grew increasingly dark and light colored bubbles moved past me with a popping texture. If I kept my form underwater my body would create a kind of pressure that pushed me back up toward the surface with incredible force. </span>Liza Sylvestrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13343586858532453561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015575389137956387.post-43780190026980240022013-06-28T17:43:00.000-04:002013-06-28T17:43:33.655-04:00In the studio this week... <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
