Clock In: Shima and Elsa

Shima Robinson has always admired her mom. Shima served as Edmonton's 10th Poet Laureate, and performs spoken word poetry under the name Dwennimmen. Her mom, Elsa Robinson, is an accomplished visual artist and former teacher. Shima finds Elsa such a stalwart and reliable human being. Given how hard it can be to be a parent and make a living as an artist, Shima's always wondered: How has Elsa pulled it off? And how have Elsa's jobs and art informed each other? In this episode, Clock In host Jay Gilday helps Shima ask her mom, and finds the admiration runs both ways. Clock In was produced by Joe Hartfeil and Chris Chang-Yen Phillips. Our researcher is Cathy Roy. Artwork and design by Mike Kendrick and Raffaella Loro. Music by Blue Dot Sessions and Jay Gilday.
