    Episode 10 – Theo Gould

    For our 10th episode, we talked online with Theo Gould, him being in Lisbon, Telling Art in London. The impact of Theo’s years studying Philosophy before he fell in love with his camera is always present in his photography. After leaving London, Theo lived in Medellín, Colombia where he began to teach himself photography. Theo later moved to Lisbon where he currently resides and works as a photographer specialising in fine-art documentary and portraiture. His personal philosophy in life is borne out of the premise that the greatest luxury in life is the luxury of simplicity - a theme clearly visible in his timeless black and white style. Through his photos he tells stories of the beauty of human diversity, yet bring us back to the core idea that we are all one. You can find his work on instagram @ theogould and on his website www.theogould.com. Thanks to Theo Gould for giving a chance to this episode to exist. Thanks to Charlotte Brown for helping with the mastering of this episode.

    Episode 8 – Odina

    For this episode, we sat on a bench on Primrose Hill with the singer/songwriter Odina. To me, Odina is a deep gaze, daring you to join her in her colourful, ironic, staged and authentic universe. We remember this moment in our life when we had to say to a loved one « I don’t love you anymore, maybe I love myself » like she does in her song Nothing Makes Sense. It gave us Heartache, (another beautiful tune of hers); dressing up in our swimsuit wearing sunglasses to sit on a roof under the grey sky of London, while drinking Martinis, like she does in 1,2,3,4, sounded like the best answer to some desperate times. Odina is a young artist who has a lot to say, with a sugary but powerful voice. And Telling Art was very happy to speak with her about all that. You can listen to her music here: https://linktr.ee/odinamusic, and follow her on instagram @ odinamusic Thanks to Odina for giving a chance to this episode to exist.

    Episode 7 – Alice Miller

    For this episode, we sat by the sea with Alice Miller, in Sandbanks in Poole. Alice is an oil painter and Loughborough University graduate specialising in small scale photorealism. Each piece is a direct translation of a single phone photograph or video still, taken by or depicting herself. Although always including those around her, the paintings aren’t portraits - the figures become characters and the viewer devises their own narrative. Photorealism shows the camera’s presence as opposed to reality — rich shadow lures the viewer in, yet ultimately obscures any truth seemingly held within the frame. You can find her work on her instagram @ aliceemiller_, and on her website, www.aliceemiller.com Thanks to Alice Miller for giving a chance to this episode to exist.

    Episode 5 – Frieda Ford (special Edinburgh)

    SPECIAL EDINBURGH In this episode, we are meeting Frieda Ford, along the water of Portobello Beach, near Edinburgh. « I work in film and performance, abstracting found beauty imagery and combining it with my own footage of private ritualised actions. I create surreal, uncomfortable landscapes that fragment the body and destabilise a passive acceptance of corporeal idealism. I focus on privatised beauty rituals as an activity that creates metaphor and enforces meaning. Every ritual act is performative and generates the possibility for shapeshifting, that is, for creating a new sense of self. Ritual and myth making can rework the past into new perceptions, new meanings and, in doing so, can destabilise and manipulate the real. » You can find her work on her instagram @ friedafordart, and on her website, http://friedafordart.cargo.site/ Thanks to Frieda Ford for giving a chance to this episode to exist.

    Episode 2 – Tiz Creel

    In this episode, we are meeting Tiz Creel in her studio at Goldsmiths College. « I come from the megalopolis of Mexico City, categorised by chaotic, surreal, unique. I recently moved to the UK to accomplish a masters degree in Fine Art. In the past years, my artistic practice has been influenced heavily by the concept of play, interactivity, and ludic experiences. The infinite world of possibilities and applications of play has been undermined not only in art and culture but also in the way we live and operate. » You can find her work on Instagram, @ tizcreel and on her website, www.tizcreel.com.
