Being More Than One Thing with Jessica Hiemstra (Episode 39)

We are all multi-hyphenate. How can we reframe what it means to be more than one thing and embrace our multiplicities? We talked to artist Jessica Hiemstra, whose work spans many different mediums, from essays and poetry to children's books to murals to large-scale installations, about how she navigates doing a lot. Our wide-ranging conversation spanned how we embrace being big in the world to the tabs we keep open in our lives to what we can learn from beavers.

Jessica makes. Have a look.
