In the debut episode of Scribble, Doodle, & Bleed, mother-daughter duo Michelle Scott (visual artist) and Leah Scott-Kirby (writer) spin gently, and occasionally wildly, around the theme of dizziness.
The conversation begins with Michelle sharing a poem inspired by a disorienting moment in a grocery store, exploring how the body can interrupt the ordinary and quietly insist on attention. From there, Leah reflects on her own history with dizziness, from youthful, questionable adventures with substances to a very different, deeply unsettling experience with vertigo during her honeymoon.
Together, they wander through the many shapes dizziness can take, physical, emotional, celebratory, and chaotic. Michelle shares stories of the playful blur that arrives during evenings of “designer drinks” with her sister, while both artists explore how altered balance can shift perception, memory, and creative expression.
This first episode sets the tone for the series: candid, layered, occasionally irreverent, and rooted in the ways lived experience bleeds into art across generations.
