The Creative Kind

In this final episode of Season 1, I'm talking with Madeleine Simson, Johnny K, Emily Raubenheimer and Willy Russo about style.

I loved hearing the similarities, differences and threads that carried across all these interviews and in a way, these short segments at the end of this season capture what I wanted to do with this show as a whole, the show a diversity of opinion, because sometimes the lessons that you learn in your first 10 months creating art are as important and game changing as those that you learn 10 years in.

Thank you so much to all of the guests from this season, and thank you to all the listeners too!! I've loved making this and it means the world to me that you are all enjoying it too.

see you soon for season 2!

In this episode I chat with New Zealand artist Viv Wotton about her journey and motivations for attending art school. We discuss the challenges and rewards of attending art school, the importance of receiving constructive feedback and developing critical thinking. Viv discusses how art school provided her with confidence and context in the art world, and we chat about some of the aspects that she still felt lacking in when she left. I really enjoyed chatting to Viv about the role of social media and alternative avenues in understanding how to navigate an art career outside of traditional gallery representation. We also chat about the connections made with peers, tutors, and industry professionals as well as the challenges of balancing family life with her studies.

This week Australian artist Chilu and I discuss artistic voice. We explore how Chilu shifted towards discovering her artistic voice by experimenting with different styles, and how she evolved and grew with her personal narrative, symbolising both joy and hardship. The conversation reveals how significant life events, like her son's hospitalisation, inspired her to create art with a purpose, aiming to donate proceeds to the NICU unit at the Sydney Children’s Hospital.

In this episode I talk to New Zealand artist Fleur Woods about her artistic voice. We discuss her journey and influences, and the all the experimentation it took to refine and continually progress it. We explored the ideas that reoccur in her work and life such as a deep connection to nature. We chat about how teaching and collaborating are integral to her practice, as they allow her to connect with others and continuously experiment and evolve. I love how Fleur embraces the idea that creativity is a force for well-being and encourages others to explore their genuine interests.
