“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation. Since its start in 2014 and official launch as an NGO in 2020, CLAWS has been pioneering science-based, tech-forward strategies to reduce conflict between people and carnivores.

Not walking the straight line. That a tree is full of mathematics. You're not fickle if you want to keep changing. Making up your own language of numbers, letters and symbols. Turns out everyone understands you. Uncovering and covering layers. Whatever comes out of you is you and is all encompassing - it's a fractal.

#7 Getting A Tune Up 22:29

for 5 years siden22:29

22:29

Being taught as opposed to finding out for yourself. Your own language takes you to the other arts and philosophy and sciences. Figures appearing as indications of spirituality in Morphic Fields. The beauty of the straight line. Nella Lush www.nellalush.com Celia Hemken www.celiahhemken.com Drawing: Ink Broken Line by Celia Hemken…

#5 The Silly Soul 25:03

for 5 years siden25:03

25:03

An invisible presence is with you when you're making art. Soaring, censorious and silly soul. No effort. Eventually looking around at your art's own place in the wider world. Nella Lush www.nellalush.com Celia Hemken www.celiahemken.com Drawing: Celia Hemken - Angels - as morphic fields/pathogens

#4 Busy Minds And Words 25:02

for 5 years siden25:02

25:02

Whether talking and thinking about art detracts from it. Talking about art is art. Words incorporated into art. Looking is as good as eating and a constant source of entertainment. Taking it out into the world. And then there’s money. Celia Hemken www.celiahemken.com Nella Lush www.nellalush.com Painting: Nella Lush - geometry with text…

Knowing when a painting is finished. Parameters of emptiness and fullness. Being allowed to paint. This is all so fun. Fast and slow painting. When it’s done it keeps on painting without you. Nella Lush www.nellalush.com Celia Hemken www.celiahemken.com Painting: Nella Lush - textures and layers

Starting, what's in between and when it ends. Knowing when a painting is finished. Parameters of emptiness and fullness. Being allowed to paint. This is all so fun. Fast and slow painting. When it’s done it keeps on painting without you. Celia Hemken www.celiahemken.com Nella Lush www.nellalush.com Drawing: Spiral by Celia Hemken…

2 Artists: Celia Hemken and Nella Lush talk about entry points to bypass judgement, inhibition and about not having confidence. Worrying about technique. That life makes the art. Whether mistakes are mistakes. Close up and far away can change what you’re making. Paintings paint themselves. www.nellalush.com www.celiahemken.com Painting: Prima Vera by Nella Lush…

#9 Fractals And Our Future 23:27

for 7 years siden23:27

23:27

Countering artistic self-doubt with the idea that what we produce being a fractal automatically encapsulates the whole, referencing the Golden Record in Episode #1 & #2. The significance of creativity for the future of our species as the mechanistic work of Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" disappears and the importance of maintaining our connection with our animal instincts, natural cycles and the primal creativity in Nature as Robotics becomes ever more a reality.

for 7 years siden27:50

27:50

Understanding Autism through making art, my sister's innate sense of lines and curves which are the intrinsic language of the universe, the pleasurable sensation of movement, filling space and emptying it, my Synaesthesia. Words are pictures and we are all living, breathing, moving paintings and drawings. Image: Drawing by Verity Hemken…

#7 The Language Of No Words And Of Colour 30:04

for 7 years siden30:04

30:04

Describing how I can't laugh at films spoofing the pretentious language of the artworld anymore. How the language of colour forms when you immerse yourself in playing with colour - how relationships emerge between colours, their place on the spectrum, the physics of colour, how your personal palette shows up clearly applying colour, notions of harmony and dissonance in colour and questions of what constitutes ugly and beautiful colour.

#6 Immersion And Jumps 30:41

for 7 years siden30:41

30:41

Talking more about the spontaneous, free approach to painting as described in Episode #4 and the problem of how important technical proficiency is in art/creativity versus a more intimate, authentic and original search for expression where technique occurs as a by-product rather than the focus.

#5 Abstract Babies 28:11

for 7 years siden28:11

28:11

In this episode I'm expanding on a painting/drawing technique accessing the imagination and subconscious as discussed in Episode #4. I'm also describing the non-verbal language of abstraction observed in babies experimenting with their physical world, why they are compelled to do it as are artists.

#1 So I Was Sobbing In An Art Gallery 29:57

for 7 years siden29:57

29:57

First of a series about understanding modern art by making it yourself. This episode is about how when you start making art yourself you realise that you become more sensitised to the world and that's a wonderful thing even if you end up sobbing in an art gallery with security looking on.(*_+).

#2 Back Behind Above And Below Beyond_Part 1 26:33

for 7 years siden26:33

26:33

About how a particular piece of art can contain so many meanings and layers, what Pareidolias are and how art emerges from the imagination and memory. Also I'm revealing how the materials for making art can be invented, appearing by accident and how something you make can be so childlike, so innocent, but contain profound universal themes.
