Tiny, tiny whispers: on the evolution of a big idea
A conversation with Lori Abichandani
"It's never really been one moment of clarity. Just a series of tiny, tiny whispers that I've listened to over the course of years." - Lori Abichandani
Mind the Gap has been an exhibition about living in the messy part of evolution — the not-quite-here, not-quite-there. Lori knows that place well. "I was in that absolutely no idea what this is anymore phase for probably a year and change, so I can very much relate to being in the messy gap...in some ways, I think we are always in it in some capacity," she reflects on a big idea's (and her own) evolution.
In this conversation, she traces the arc of that becoming: the tiny whispers she followed, the rabbit holes she trusted, the moment she stopped doing things the old way without having any idea what the new way would look like.
What comes through most is the courage it took to stay in the not-knowing long enough for something new to emerge.
