I would like to ask Juliana, what makes a good fit for sharing a booth? Like what does that other person have to be like?
I guess just someone you’re willing to be around. And I think it was important that that’s not the person, but like their work being complimentary.

Torrey, what do you think?
I think that you’ve got to have some trust in the person that you’re going to share a booth with. And so that rapport and that trust is pretty important. And then the work… the complementariness of the work is maybe secondary to that.

Tori, do you think that by sharing a booth with someone like the caliber of Juliana, do you feel like that changes the customer’s perception of your work also? Do you think it raises their attitude towards you?
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I do.

How about you, Juliana?
Yes, I guess I don’t. I definitely don’t want to share this with someone that I’m like, I’m proud of Tori’s work, you know, I hope he is of mine as well.

Do you think that that the personality and the work ethic that’s a critical thing to take into consideration, Tori?
Well, the personality part of it, yes. Work ethic is its own thing, and that doesn’t matter to me as much. I mean, I guess the work ethic of being at the booth and staying on board. That’s where trust comes in. I think that I trusted Juliana to, not bail out at the last minute. I think that artists can be a strange and fickle species of animal. That’s why I mentioned trust straight away.

Juliana, what are your thoughts?
I guess I feel like I’m just going to be repeating, but yes.

You two shared a booth and you shared a weekend at the showcase working together. Did you guys have a debriefing time where you talked about what was good, what worked? And if so, what’s a highlight that you got out of that? Tori, you go first.

We did not have that conversation, but we’re going to have it directly after this podcast. I think that we were so burned out or done or tired on that Sunday afternoon that we were all talked out. And I don’t think we’ve not circled back. So we will have that conversation.

What’s something that stood out for you, Juliana?
I’ve definitely learned positioning. We could have positioned it a little bit different, and I would have liked to see his banner more.
