In this episode I Interview Jordan Barnes, a New Zealand artist, singer, songwriter, and actor, about his sources of inspiration. Jordan explains that his inspiration comes from within and is often fuelled by visuals and life experiences. He talks about finding inspiration in various forms—whether through observation of the world around him, personal relationships, emotional experiences, or social observations. We discuss the themes and messages in Jordans work and the importance he places on allowing room for ambiguity in his work, so that viewers can interpret his pieces in their own way. Jordan also discusses how he juggles multiple artistic disciplines, and how surrounding himself with a supportive community, including mentors and family, fuels his creative endeavours.
