entropy is a thing; shifting expectations and painting the void with artist Ryan Barnes [S3E10]
Elle sits down to talk with artist Ryan Barnes, whom she knows from the Spoonie Studio virtual gatherings. They dig into Ryan’s art practice, and he shares the ongoing development of the "void" series, which explores themes of disconnection and change. Ryan also talks about balancing his art with his role as a parent and student, and the impact of his service dog, BlackBerry, on his work. He emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and personal growth in art.
