Developing Ideas w/ Sally-Anne Ashley [2...

Louise Fletcher/Alice Sheridan
About this episode

This week, Louise is joined by special guest Sally-Anne Ashley for a discussion on how to develop and nurture ideas within our art practice. This is a topic that we are both passionate about and, while we approach it in slightly different ways, our end goal remains the same. We both seek to find a focus that sustains us, while also staying open and experimental.

During our conversation, we cover the importance of play, the need for self-acceptance, and the vital role that ideas play in our work.
