Sustain is a deeply personal video compilation in which Krissy looks back on her time as a design graduate student and on the creative process in general. The video features a series of poems derived from a wide variety of source material including The Education of a Graphic Designer edited by Steven Heller, Living and Sustaining a Creative Life edited by Sharon Louden, and a selection of sites and articles that provide advice on maintaining relationships in graduate school. Krissy created a series of videos that act as visual metaphors for each of the poems, stringing them together using silent film era typography, music, and effects to further emphasize the nostalgia of self-reflection.
