Episode 8This episode has been a little delayed. Apologies.Creativity is an intrinsic part of Garry Moore's expression. He has worked with a camera in hand for almost 40 years, mostly in the commercial space, but has always been able to find ways of expressing his creative compulsion no matter what.Garry and I talk about his creative background and what value creativity lends to his life. He discusses his creative process, and talks about how his awareness and intent lends value to his personal pursuits and experiences.Garry's website contains some artistic jewels as well as a catalogue of his commercial work. I urge you to look, particularly at Thanatos, which is a series of images he describes the process of creating in this episode. .

Episode 7I felt very privileged to meet Marina Strocchi and thrilled all over again when I had the chance to revisit our conversation to edit this episode.Marina is an artist whose work I have loved for well over a decade, What was unbelievably special was that when I approached her for a chat I really only the most cursory idea of her story and none of the depth of her insight into artmaking and its relationship to healing and growth, particularly in Australia's remote indigenous communities.Marina has a terrific website and you can follow her on instagram. The link to the short film about her Survey show is here.You can find more information about The Ikuntji Artist community she was instrumental in establishing on their website and instagram.The Ikuntji Book can be found second hand.Enjoy!More infö about Where Art and Grief Meet is here and Sophia's daily creations are here.Please feel most welcome to indicate an interest if you'd like to participate in the project or if you have feedback at the links directly above.To support the project through Patreon or make a once only donation Paypal.Thank you to BlueAnt for the tech. and Dallas Cosmas for the music.Next episode is No 8, in around a fortnight.
