In this episode, Lawrence is joined by Martin Rayment (otherwise known by the alias Mr. Ray) a collage artist, musician, creative entrepreneur and co-founder of The Carousel, Nottingham.

In this first half of a two-part conversation, they discuss Martin’s creative development journey, which began with the surrealist books on his parents’ bookshelf, and his many varied artistic influences, including lost comic books, British folklore and the golden age of Hollywood.

They also explore his process for creating a new piece of art, and the relationship between his music and collage work.
