I met them at the launch of Jupiter and was excited by their expansive approach to art criticism and how seriously they took criticism as an art form unto itself. For our date we went to Books in Chelsea a first for all of us! Read about our date below! CB: I am a writer, editor and mutual lover of life. DH : Dallas has had a huge impact on my taste and the way that I move through this world. It shaped my ability to play with different forms of expression.
Dallas has a very underestimated art scene and music scene and I come from a very musical family. We all love to sing. I have family members that are musicians. A huge part of that was growing up and being able to experience the jazz music that I did.
My parents were very invested in allowing myself and my siblings to try our hand at everything that sparked our interest and experimenting until things kind of clicked and made sense. CB: I lived in Chicago until I was eight, but we have lived a very peripatetic life.
My mother, father, brother and I moved to Ireland when I was eight, and we lived there for six years and then moved to India for three years, and then we came back to the US.
That mode of growing up has really influenced the way I like to make friends. That has dovetailed into really going for as much enduring, long-term, deep collaboration in my work as I possibly can. Being ripped out of and deposited in so many different contexts made it really difficult to feel any kind of stability around the relationships that I was cultivating out of my own curiosity.
