# 1 Joshua Farr
It's official! We're live!
Welcome to the first episode of Vicinity, a podcast by Viscera Studio, where we get curious about someone in our community -- we learn more about the fabric of their story and what makes them joyful. Each week we explore those intersections-- connecting the dots between creativity, art, design, good governance, artistic practice, and more. And ultimately ask: who else is in the vicinity?
Episode 1
Joshua Farr is a multi-disciplinary artist residing in Oakland, California. A native to the Bay Area, his artwork mirrors the natural and industrial beauty that has always been synonymous with Northern California. These captured moments are referred to by the artist as "delightful mediocrity", or the beauty in the mundanity of daily existence while we make our Way Back Home. May this art give you space to pause and delight in the artwork of the Creator that surrounds us.

Show Notes
When you meet someone new, do you ever wonder how many times you’ve crossed paths with that person back when they were strangers? Me too. I wonder what the rest of their life looks like? Do we know any people in common? What events in the universe aligned for us to meet? What makes them joyful? This curiosity usually leads me to more and more questions and, as I pull at each of those threads, I find a more beautiful fabric.
