Releasing Resistance in the Creative Process: Residency Debrief with Phoebe Stone

Releasing Resistance in the Creative Process: Residency Debrief with Phoebe Stone

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352189/fan_mail/new] Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record. This episode is a little different. There is no surprise topic today. Phoebe Stone and Korynn were both at The Corridor Project [https://www.thecorridorproject.org/] residency together recently and this is their debrief — the kind of honest, unplanned conversation that only happens when two artists have just spent a week making work side by side in the middle of nowhere. Phoebe Stone is a Sydney-based artist known for her expressive, intuitive depictions of domestic life. Through urgent and immediate mark making she renders the intimate and the everyday, translating feeling and memory into form with a desire to hold onto beauty and fleeting experience. She has exhibited widely across Australia and internationally and has a solo show opening at Hake House on July 11th and work heading to Paris in September. In this deeply honest conversation two artists talk about what the residency cracked open, the one sentence Phoebe said to Korynn that she has not stopped thinking about since, what happens when you release all resistance and just play, working intuitively with no plan and no agenda, frottage on rocks and happy accidents in the landscape, why raw unfiltered mark making carries a pulse that polished work sometimes doesn't, accidentally becoming an artist after leaving interior design, the pressure artists put on themselves to produce cohesive bodies of work and why that can get in the way, and what it actually feels like when you give yourself permission to just show up and respond. If you love art podcasts, conversations about the creative process, or you have ever felt resistance creeping into your practice and wondered how to release it, this one is for you.

Developing Consistency Within a Creative Practice with Zoe Sernack

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352189/fan_mail/new] Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record. In this episode Korynn calls Sydney-based contemporary artist Zoe Sernack. Through layering, obscuring, revealing and reworking, each piece evolves as a visual conversation between structure and spontaneity. The surprise topic: developing consistency within a creative practice. Zoe is one of those artists that Korynn has watched from a distance for years, consistently showing up, consistently getting into prizes, consistently getting her work in front of people. So this conversation was always going to go somewhere good. In this honest unplanned conversation two artists talk about what consistency actually looks like in a real creative life, why showing up for even 10 minutes counts, how motherhood made Zoe more laser focused not less, the happy mistakes that have become central to her layered process, teaching workshops interstate every month and what that gives back to her own practice, and the Nepean Hospital commission — a major redevelopment project that Zoe is talking about publicly for the very first time in this episode. She also has an exhibition opening at Brenda Colahan Fine Arts [https://bcfa.au/] in Redfern on August 13th. If you love art podcasts, conversations about the real creative life, or you are an artist trying to figure out how to show up more consistently for your practice, this one is for you.

Filling Your Creative Well: Ana Young on Residencies and Abstract Painting

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352189/fan_mail/new] Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record. In this episode Korynn calls Sydney-based abstract artist Ana Young — one of Australia's most compelling painters whose practice explores time, memory and silence. The surprise topic: residencies. This conversation came at the perfect time. Korynn is about to head off on her own artist residency at The Corridor Project [https://www.thecorridorproject.org/] in Central West NSW and needed exactly the kind of grounded, honest wisdom that only Ana could give. What followed was one of the most practical and deeply inspiring conversations about what a residency actually is, what it is not, and how to get the most out of being in a completely new landscape with nothing to prove and nowhere to be. In this honest unplanned conversation two artists talk about Ana's recent residency at Lake Macquarie [https://mac.lakemac.com.au/Get-involved/Artist-opportunities/Lake-House-Artist-Residency] and what she brought back from it, why a residency is about recording and investigating not producing, how to simplify what you are looking at when a landscape overwhelms you, why going in with no research and no expectations is the best thing you can do, the installations Ana made from found materials and how they surprised even her, working with gouache in the field and why it is the most forgiving medium you can take outside, the importance of finding just one thing in a landscape and really staying with it, and why curiosity is the thing that keeps a practice alive long after technical skill has been mastered. If you love art podcasts, have ever considered doing an artist residency, or simply want to hear an honest conversation about what it really means to slow down and fill your creative well, this one is for you.

Juggling Art and Career with Australian Artist Joshua van Gestel

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352189/fan_mail/new] Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record. In this episode Korynn calls Sydney-based painter, drawer and photographer Joshua van Gestel. Joshua has been making and exhibiting work since 2001, travelling extensively through Australia, Asia and India to seek inspiration, and using his practice to raise awareness for humanitarian organisations across the globe. He also works full time as an educator at Australian Retirement Trust. The surprise topic: juggling the career and art balance. What started as a conversation about how to hold a corporate career and an art practice in the same hands turned into something neither of them expected. By the end of this conversation they realised they had spent the entire time creating a verbal vision board and holding each other accountable to the future versions of themselves. That is just what happens when two artists get on the phone. In this honest unplanned conversation two artists talk about what it actually looks like to juggle a high pressure corporate career alongside a serious art practice, how Joshua built his own studio during COVID and how that one decision changed everything, going from feast or famine creativity to a consistent daily practice, why his paintings now take 100 plus hours when they used to take 10, how the studio became a crucial part of his mental health and wellbeing, taking his blood pressure every day and what the results told him about the studio, landscapes of influence and the deeply personal body of work he is currently making, and why your creative passion does not have to wait for retirement. If you love art podcasts, conversations about the real life of a working artist, or you are someone juggling a career and a creative practice and wondering if it is possible, this one is for you.

Beneath the Facade: Diana Miller on Intuition, Creative Life & Breathwork

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352189/fan_mail/new] Daring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record. In this episode Korynn calls Byron Bay-based abstract artist Diana Miller, painter, collagist, wall assemblage maker, and someone whose entire practice is built on the beautiful tension between intuition and control. The surprise topic: the moment intuition won the argument with your mind. Diana's most recent solo exhibition Facade was built around a radical idea, working back over unsold and returned paintings with carefully planned geometric layers, creating a conversation between the intuitive backgrounds underneath and the more controlled shapes on top. Korynn visited this show three times and got something completely different out of it every single time she stood in front of the work. That is the kind of show this was. In this unfiltered conversation two artists talk about the push pull between intuition and control in the creative process, how Diana's graphic design background secretly underpins everything she makes, the importance of honouring the post exhibition lull and why doing nothing after a big show is not laziness but necessary, her brand new journey into breathwork facilitation and how she plans to combine it with her art practice, moving 31 times and what that constant upheaval has done to her work, Human Design, creative guilt, and joy as the thing we all need more of. If you love art podcasts, conversations about the creative process, or the real behind the scenes life of a working Australian artist, this one is for you.
