EP 28: Ink & Empathy - The Dual Life of a Printmaker w. Granny Prints
Manage episode 427047775 series 3573995
In this episode, I chat with Matt who is the artist behind Granny Prints. He is a social worker and visual artist from Sydney. We connected online as I started exploring lino printmaking. Printmaking is a practice that requires patience, trust and the methodology of trial and error.
Matt is a passionate artist who has dedicated his time to helping others not only through his art, but through his social work. He openly discusses his journey with mental health as a cis-man, something which needs to be more of an open conversation and I appreciate Matt's vulnerability when discussing this.
I look forward to seeing Matt's development as an artist within the next coming years. His ability to generate beautiful art discussing topics which speak true to the current zeitgeist is something I think he should be really proud of.
I hope you enjoy the podcast and I would like to thank Matt for coming on.
