Welcome to Episode 1 of The Mirror - a meditative series of audio journals reflecting on the creation of contemporary art and cinema, hosted by filmmaker Justin Reid. In the first episode, I lay the foundations of the project, casting a look back at the year that was 2020, and the new path I've forged from its ashes. I discuss the commercialisation of art, the relationship between social media and my arts practice, and sketch out my vision for finding meaning not only in your creative work, but in your life beyond.
