Episode 02.02: Remix Artist Cassandra C. Jones: I’m just gonna go tomorrow, make something new and find joy in that.

Cassandra C. Jones is a remix artist using digital photography to create large-scale collage works. In our conversation, we learn exactly what a “remix artist” is and how she goes about the process of making her giant, gorgeous prints.
