Elle sits down to talk with artist Ryan Barnes, whom she knows from the Spoonie Studio virtual gatherings. They dig into Ryan’s art practice, and he shares the ongoing development of the "void" series, which explores themes of disconnection and change. Ryan also talks about balancing his art with his role as a parent and student, and the impact of his service dog, BlackBerry, on his work.

In this Bizarro Backwards Opposite-Day episode, Ricki and Elle switch places, and Elle is in the hot seat, answering the questions they usually ask their guests. Despite coming down off a multiday migraine and the word salad that accompanies it, Elle shares how her disability shapes her art practice, why she cherishes her community of Spoonie artists, and why she’s so focused on asking everyone about their One True Thing.
