028 • IICKY

Our guest is ⁠⁠⁠⁠iicky⁠, a Chicago-based artist who works with the concept of impermanence and non-traditional materials. His ethos centered around embracing decay, aging, and his father’s advice of “use what you have” and “there are no mistakes.” 
Born in Trinidad but raised in the Virgin Islands, today he resides in Chicago. He was one of the featured in the Chicago Graphic Design Club’s art exhibit, ⁠Chicago’s Tomorrow, Today⁠. His piece is titled “floating taxis in hyperspace near Pluto while eating vegan hotdogs.”
In this episode, iicky speaks with host ⁠⁠⁠⁠Christian Solorzano⁠⁠, about his earliest memories of creativity, the value of the imperfect, sustainability, analog media, technology, and much more.
Music by the band ⁠⁠⁠⁠Eighties Slang⁠⁠⁠⁠.
