Ever since the crisis began, I’ve been thinking about the importance of community — how much we need other people, even as we stay physically apart. (Some of the interviews are archived on YouTube.) For each visit, the couple also makes a collaborative work with their painting club P_Lub (which includes the artist Trisha Baga), using the guests’ social media posts, especially old family photos, as source material. While the conversations are down to earth, the paintings are idiosyncratic and slightly surreal. Both reflect the amount of care that goes into the project.
