“Walking and Falling” takes its name from a track title from pioneer electronic music artist Laurie Anderson’s album ‘Big Science’ and works well as a symbol for the type of learning philosophy necessary to grow as an artist – the tightrope balancing act between growing and failing, and how beneficial “falling” can be in the learning process.
