1xRUN: Tell us a little bit about this piece, anything immediate you would like us to highlight about this image?
Dee Dee: I don’t generally like to discuss my artwork in that way much or the intentions behind it. I prefer people have their own experience with it. I have heard (and overheard) so many people describing what my work means to them. Some descriptions have been really quite fantastic…and while maybe not what I intended, no less valid.

1x: Was this image part of a recent theme, series or show that you had? If so how did it fit into that given grouping?
Dee Dee:  It was a part of the work I put into the streets of NYC in 2017. It fit pretty great on most of the walls I found for it.

1x: How long did this image take to create from start to finish?

1x:  What have you been up to over the last few months? Bring us up to speed on how things have been going recently for you…
Dee Dee: Things are going quite well. I spent time at the Bowie exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. I rewatched Twin Peaks, I am currently enthralled with Westworld. I have been also having quite a lot of fun preparing the art everyone will be seeing over the course of the summer. I am quite excited to show it.  My apologies to my neighbors for the loud music that fueled it.

1x: Any recent shows or exhibitions that you had?
Dee Dee: I put some art up in the street in NYC a few nights ago. Lots of people have walked by it. I will probably do it again shortly.

1x: What are some of the ways you have been trying to push yourself with your work over the last year?
Dee Dee: All of my work to me is music. Each piece is a song. I am always trying to make my work make the viewer feel how a song would make them feel. Music has always been my greatest friend and I am always pushing to make my work translate in a similar fashion.

1x: What are some strides you feel you’ve made in your work recently?
Dee Dee: I am getting less glue all over myself  when I put work up.

1x: Any artists that have been exciting you lately?
Dee Dee: One artist who has been hugely important to me since the beginning has been Elle. She’s done so much for me. Watching what she is up to know and seeing where she is going is tremendously exciting for me. Recently I fell in love with the work of Shannon Crawford. Amazing paintings. I am always excited to see what Laura Keeble is doing. She is always different, you never now what to expect from her which I truly love. She is quite magical. My assistant, Momo. Her imagination knows no bounds.

1x: What was the last piece of art that you bought?
Dee Dee: I haven’t bought anything recently. I suppose the last piece of art I received was a trade I did with my amazing assistant, Momo. It is called “Rainbow Jungle” and hangs in my home. Momo has the most fabulous imagination of anyone I have ever known. One of my most favorite artists.
