In this debut episode of In the Making with Mander, I sit down with my dear friend Tiana to explore the root of who I am as an artist. From childhood memories and early creative sparks to the work I create today, we trace the threads that have shaped who I am as an artist. We talk about my process of making and working with natural inks, the emotional and symbolic connections I build through natural materials, and how mixed media helps me tell deeper, more layered stories. This is the beginning of something meaningful—a look at the why behind my work.
