Life of Pi: A Seismographic Ear to the Earth
Who knows where the art making impulse comes from? I certainly don’t.

For a culture that is doggedly focused on what […]

I’ll Make it My Way, Thanks
I think it’s particularly worrying at the moment because you can only create in an atmosphere of freedom, where you’re not checking everything you say critically before you move on. What you have to be able to do is to build without knowing where you’re going because you’ve never been there before. That’s what creativity […]
