In my first episode back, I speak with Bonnie Hislop (@bonnie_hislop) about her practice as a ceramicist, her wins and what she is proud of, why Instagram reels are that little bit extra work for artists and so much more! Thank you to Bonnie for sharing her thoughts, feelings and chatting with me. I hope you enjoy the episode!

About Bonnie Hislop:
Bonnie Hislop is a ceramicist specialising in hand building and ceramic illustration. Grounded in technical skill, her practice has evolved from creating illustrative ceramic cats to large scale sculptural work. Bonnie uses her forms to critically engage with the world around her and document the human experience. Working from her studio in Yeerongpilly, Bonnie meticulously hand crafts her forms through an involved and often uncertain process inherent in working with clay. She unites bright colours and satirical shapes to engage her audience in a dialogue with the physical world around them. Her work intersects traditional representations of ceramics with a craft aesthetic to create a contemporary interpretation of the ceramic medium. The artwork doesn’t take itself too seriously yet is able to capture personal experiences universal to the human condition. Her practice aims to encapsulate universal experiences of frustration, angst, grief, emotional fatigue as well as tenderness, intimacy and desire. The performative, brightly coloured ceramics forge an existence through joy and curiosity.

This is just an icebreaker; if you were here before I relaunched hey. If you're new here, hey! So nice to see you, this is my journey over the last eighteen months. In this episode I explain what has changed for me over the last year and half; I've changed mentally, emotionally and physically.

I am really excited for this new chapter of my life, I am turning 30 next year and I am hoping to be a better version of myself every year moving forward! I've realised life is too short to not do it all.

Today I am talking with grief therapist Cait Wotherspoon about grief, bereavement and loss in life. I recently lost someone in my life suddenly and I started searching for information and answers online surrounding how to grieve but was met with conflicting information. I thought it would be great to talk to a therapist regarding this subject. Death is something we will all have to face at some point in our lives and is inevitable... however, we go deeper into what is grief when we lose someone unexpectedly to suicide or an accident and the statistics surrounding suicide in Australia, how we can best support one another and what is important to do when we are feeling suicidal ourselves. Thank you so much to Cait for taking the time to speak to me about mental health, grief and so much more, her knowledge and experience is so valuable and I appreciate her taking the time to speak with me.

I am discussing some issues in here that relate to my own depression, suicidal thoughts and my own grief. We are discussing death, suicide, drug overdoses and different ways in which people pass, so if you find this upsetting at all please stop the episode and reach out to friends, family or crisis centre. If you live in Australia I have listed a bunch of crisis centres on my blog post Helplines and Hotlines, which you can read here.

Today I am talking about what I am known for, collage art. I have been creating collage art for going six years, I think it is one of the most underrated and misunderstood styles of art. In this episode I discuss everything from the history of it, different styles, how I got stuck (mind the pun) creating it, how you can start making hand cut collages or digital collage art, where I find my materials and other great things surrounding the topic! I really think this is a great starting point for those who have just begun creating collage art or are considering it as a career choice for themselves.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room and just get it over and done with. This will be the (hopefully) last time I will ever have to address COVID. I thought it might be interesting to hear how my town (Brisbane, Australia) was affected by it and my take on it from an ADHD mind. I also wanted to discuss CBD Oil in Australia, how I obtained it legally, where I think there might be some issues with purchasing it without a prescription and what I hope for the future!
