<p>CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains conversations about death and grief</p><br><p>In this episode, Mel and Iz chat with Laxmi Hussain, a London-based artist inspired by the human form, motherhood, and nature. Born to a Filipino mother and Indian father, Laxmi’s multicultural background shapes her art, exploring identity, self-love, and acceptance. Trained in architecture, she shifted to art after becoming a mother, inspired by her children and the journey of motherhood. </p><br><p>Laxmi shares how grief, especially losing her mother, influenced her signature use of blue—a tribute to her and a reflection of her creative journey. Her work, known for its intentional incompleteness, invites personal connections. We discuss how motherhood shaped her art, navigating grief through her work, and the cultural richness of her heritage. This is an emotional one for sure.</p><br><p>Laxmi Hussain: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thislakshmi/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thislakshmi/</a> </p><p>Eastern Hunnies: <a href="https://instagram.com/easternhunnies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@easternhunnies</a></p><br><p>Remember to share, subscribe, and honour your ancestors - we appreciate you! 🌶️💛</p><br><p>Produced by Hunniepot</p><p>Edited by Gabby Lauren</p><p>Music by Muri & Lustbass</p><p>Mixing by Ross Ramsay-Golding</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
