Before the pandemic hit, Simone was making her own art out of her home studio but going into a studio in Toronto\u2019s Junction area to work for artist Cyb\u00e8le Young, while Simone\u2019s husband went to work as an elementary school teacher. Since the pandemic, Simone\u2019s home has transformed from being her living and creative space to also being her workspace and her husband\u2019s virtual classroom. The conversation centres around ideas of \u201chome\u201d and how those ideas are reflected in Simone\u2019s work as well as how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way that others, and even Simone herself, perceive the various themes in her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3e5665\">Simone Collins is interviewed by Sammy Van Herk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-3c45a6ec-7a4c-46b3-817d-ee345953e818\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/2020recollection\/files\/2021\/04\/LIBR588-VanHerkTranscription.pdf\">Download Transcript<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/2020recollection\/files\/2021\/04\/LIBR588-VanHerkTranscription.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-3c45a6ec-7a4c-46b3-817d-ee345953e818\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(On defining \u201chome.\u201d) &#8220;It\u2019s where you feel safest and you feel the most yourself.
