We uncover some very interesting thoughts around self belief, internal narrative and how this shapes how we view ourselves. And perhaps my favourite part of the whole chat, equally enjoyable and uncomfortable, we get into...

A new format in addition to our usual interview style episode. These episodes will be slightly more esoteric, a bit more rough around the edges, usually based around a book or quote and will be short and punchy.

info_outlineSpencer is a fascinating visual artist and perhaps summarizing his work best is his biogrpahy which states "Inspired by his background in science, Spencer draws from the scientific method, building his practice around a methodology of questioning, experimentation and perpetual curiosity." During our chat we uncover Spencer’s broad and deep reading habits along with his extremely intricate pre-exhbitiion workflow and preparation. He dishes out some really helpful links and resources he uses to source inspiration, reference materials, unpublished books from the 1800s and beyond. We talk about everything from how play is a hugely important part of the experimentation and creative process to how Spencer’s mindfulness practice influences his artwork.

Quotes
"Play is my best method of experimenting."
"Play has been something that has been very prominent in my practice, since I studied at Uni."
"The other think I like to do when I'm in a bit more of an experimental phase, is even like delete social media off my phone."
"I don't really kind of think of an idea and then create an artwork, I more kind of like create an artwork parallel to an idea and then the two kind of come together at some point."
"A lot of kind of creating art is about finding out about yourself."
"With the creative process, if you have infinite possibilities, it just leads to infinite anxiety, so having some kind of structure helps focus you a little bit and give you a starting point."
"The actual making of the artwork is the most enjoyable part of the process for me."
"I actually like physically kind of working with paint and materials and sanding things and you know putting them together, it's a very kind of meditative and satisfying process."
