Arts
A conversation with Sydney-based artist Victoria Hempstead whose work is a dialogue between the intention of the artist and the agency of the material; a reminder of the limit of our human control and certainty. We speak about: - her fascination with metal and ephemerality - intuition and importance of slowing down - connection between confidence and the value-systems - role of beauty in dealing with trauma - fine line between resting and falling into lethargy - value of collaboration and creative conversations - embracing mistakes and the importance of playfulness - notepads, voice memos, and dream diaries For the full transcript of the podcast see: www.artemisprojects.com.au/conversations/podcast-victoria-hempstead This podcast was produced on the Gadigal land of Eora nation, traditional custodians of the land. We pay our respect to their elders past, present, and future. It is our hope to learn from their wisdom on cultivating and caring for the land.
