Q & A with Tyler:

How did you hear about Sable?
Through a friend of a friend.

What inspires you to make art?
Other people making art, questions, joy, sadness, music, nature.

What is your spirit vegetable and why?
I think an onion is my spirit vegetable because I am multi-layered, and while I seek rooting deep into the ground, I cannot help but pop up from the dirt.

If you could have any superpower what would it be?
If I could have any superpower it would be flight. I would carry people with me high, high, high above the ground, in order to give the gift of a larger perspective.  I think this could save the world.
