Quotes by Joe Halstead (?)

“I feel a certain responsibility to heal my own things that carry with me, but also to share how I’ve taken trauma or difficult situations and made something beautiful. I feel like that’s what art is: to make something beautiful out of raw ideas, angst, or frustration. It’s your job to make the world a better place out of your mess on the floor.”
― Joe Halstead, West Virginia
