From 2014 to 2023, the artist resided at her West Village home studio on Bleecker and Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. This space is where her journey with The Cool People truly began.

Process: "EMIT TIME"
One of Storm's most valued concept is the phrase, Emit Time. When Storm was practicing her ambidextrous techniques, she primarily focused on the words. In her practice to strengthen ambidextrous techniques, she began writing and painting those words backwards and forwards simultaneously. Emit is Time spelled backwards, ergo, to emit time means to make time by utilizing the duality and magic within ourselves.
