S1 Ep7: EP 6 - Creativity and Grief w/ Izzy Lee-Poulton
Izzy ends series one being interviewed about grief and creativity by co-producer Bridey. We look back on the series and how creativity is part of a bigger picture.
We ponder... can creativity inspired by grief become commodified? In fact, how do you even define creativity? How do you define grief?
Izzy speaks about how memory and loss can inform future creative output. Speaking to family, friends and fellow grief creatives, we come to the conclusion that grief is timeless, and though we may never fully understand it, through creativity we might find a means of expressing it.
