Being taught as opposed to finding out for yourself. Your own language takes you to the other arts and philosophy and sciences. Figures appearing as indications of spirituality in Morphic Fields.

|episode 6
Not walking the straight line. That a tree is full of mathematics. You're not fickle if you want to keep changing. Making up your own language of numbers, letters and symbols. Turns out everyone understands you. Uncovering and covering layers. Whatever comes out of you is you and is all encompassing - it's a fractal. Celia Hemken www.celiahemken.com Nella Lush www.nellalush.com Paintings: Figure by Nella Lush

Whether talking and thinking about art detracts from it. Talking about art is art. Words incorporated into art. Looking is as good as eating and a constant source of entertainment.

Starting, what's in between and when it ends. Knowing when a painting is finished. Parameters of emptiness and fullness. Being allowed to paint. This is all so fun. Fast and slow painting.

#9 Fractals And Our Future

Understand Modern Art By Making It - The Frozen Princes And Abstract Babies Podcasts
|episode 9
Countering artistic self-doubt by understanding art as fractals, referencing the Golden Record again. The significance of creativity for our species as the mechanism of "Modern Times" disappears, the importance of maintaining connection with our animal instincts, natural cycles and the primal creativity in Nature as Robotics becomes a reality.

Understanding Autism through making art, my sister's innate sense of lines and curves which are the intrinsic language of the universe, the pleasurable sensation of movement, filling space and emptying it, my Synaesthesia.

#7 The Language Of No Words And Of Colour

Understand Modern Art By Making It - The Frozen Podcasts And Abstract Babies Podcasts
|episode 7
How I can't laugh at films spoofing pretentious language of the artworld anymore. How language of colour forms when you play with it, how relationships emerge between colours, their spectrum, physics of colour, your personal colour palette, harmony and dissonance in colour and questions of what constitutes ugly and beautiful colour.
