Today, Ceri chats with Miami-based artist Autumn Casey, whose work dances across sculpture, performance, video, and sound—from solo screams at Art Basel to directing a lo-fi Snoop Dogg video. Autumn transforms the everyday into something enchanted, uncanny, and joyfully offbeat. Her luminous sculptures now light up the design world. She shares the real story behind sustaining a creative life: the grit, the glamour, the grounding force of good collaborators, and the unexpected magic of saying your dreams out loud.
