He takes us back to his childhood and reveals how his upbringing with creative parents set a path for his creative career as a multidisciplinary artist. We learn of his commitment to honoring his parent’s legacy and preserving their artwork, a major source of inspiration for many of his long-term art projects. Harrod also speaks about his experiences documenting Burning Man, an annual event held in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, where participants gather to celebrate self-expression, art, and community.
