About this episode
The episode explores the concept of beauty and its origins through a discussion with artist Jeff Hein.
When you say something is BEAUTIFUL, what do you actually mean? Why do you think it's beautiful? Is beauty genetically programmed witihin humans, or is it culturally learned, or Is it a divine gift from god? We take on this fascinating topic with our amazing friend Jeff Hein (an absolutely INCREDIBLE painter and maker), who raised this question in the first place and WHAT A FUN DISCUSSION IT WAS. Jeff has his own podcast called the Undraped Artist and you can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/@theundrapedartist Jeff's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeff_hein_art/ To watch the YOUTUBE VIDEO of this episode and the irreverent & somewhat unpredictable AFTERSHOW, subscribe to our Patreon: http://patreon.com/user?u=91688467 To browse the Gorilla Glue Wood Filler and Wood Glue (less water) mentioned in today's show: http://gorillatough.com/woodworkingisbs
