This week Kate chats with emerging, painter, performance and video artist based in Wurundjuri country, Maya Irving. This was such an engaging, raw and vulnerable chat in which we discuss, the patriarchal set up of social media, the male gaze, nudity as art, the relationship between sexual and creative energy and the journey of Mayas creative path so far. For me she truly embodies the pure essence of living as an artist. TRIGGER WARNING- we talk about sexual assault during this episode.
