Description

In this episode, I'm talking with artist Sanithna Phansavanh.  He’s a visual artist based here in Atlanta. I have always enjoyed and had an affinity for his work.  In this episode we talk about creative process, the importance of fallow periods and rest, re-orienting practices towards play and approaching spirituality with a mind open to redrawing lines.

We discuss

• The paradox of a singular style
• Growing up as an immigrant + how he found his way to art making
• Work life balance challenges as a working artist who also has to make a living
• Reaching burn out + taking a year off
• Re-orienting his practice towards play
• Reading + writing as a powerful source of inspiration 
• How to know when a piece is “done”
• His current relationship with reductionism + simplicity
• Playing with archetypes, mythology and abstraction
• Thoughts on failure, creative process, quantum theory + the flow state
