In Episode 3 of The Mirror, I delve into the relationship between discipline and creative freedom in our artistic practice, highlighting the limits of “hard work” and hustle culture, and looking towards a healthier approach at developing your craft by following the threads that feel right to you. Importantly, I work towards uncovering what freedom even really means in our art production, and how near impossible it has become for creative freedom and commercial goals to be aligned.
