Can talking about art actually change the way you make it? In this episode of Art Crush, UK artist Fi Marks and Canadian artist Paula Telizyn dive deep into the unexpected power of dialogue.

They share the behind the scenes of how their weekly deep dives sparked a total shift in their creative processes, leading to the formation of their international art collective, The Fifty-One Percent.

If you’ve ever wondered how being an artist is shaped by the community you keep, this episode is for you.

We discuss:

• The bridge between conversation and the canvas.

• How The Fifty-One Percent collective was born from a podcast.

• Why international collaboration is the ultimate professional development.
