Coffee Shop Conversations

This one is less about ONE location, and more about coffee shops in general. Something really special about coffee shop conversations is that they tend to be much more emotional - much more expressive, as two people often sit down to catch up, reconnect and share in a collective listening experience.

I haven’t done too much in this category yet, but I did catch a few really meaningful exchanges that made me want to create something based off of them. I felt like this was a perfect opportunity to intentionally collage at our collage corner - something I’ve done a little bit of, but not enough. When I started collage corner, I wanted it to motivate me to actually physically cut and paste collages, instead of just doing them digitally as I have been doing for years and years. But it’s such an adjustment for me, I was finding myself ignoring it alltogether. I’m hoping this series will prompt a lot of interesting work.

For this piece in particular, I am wanting to convey the feeling of being settled within love and a commitment - something I often struggle with.

WHAT I OVERHEARD

Do you ever feel settled? I never feel settled
And you just want to keep yourself in the shadow
Just do you, be free - Don’t you worry I feel very free
