Why Great Artists Fetishise Retreat | Members Cut

Hey, thanks for opening this one.

Below is a members only, early release of the new main channel video. This was my first foray outside the country with CM work, and it was... nice.

As an artist and creative, I've always related my work to periods of disconnection from my everyday environment and the people around me. I'm not even saying it's always healthy. But there's plenty of stories in this one, to explore the intricacies of all that.

I wanted to share the reading list and video list below, prior to the paywall, so it’s accessible for both members and non members. And if you do fancy the membership (which goes directly into supporting my time making Creative Minds), then I hope this will be an opportune time to come support. It really matters.
