Madeline Holt is an incredibly considered and wise creative human that applies her hand at many different artistic outputs, most recently her practice has her working with light installations. Madeline has such a bank of wisdom that we pick through piece by piece, most of which was self taught and we learn was gleaned through trial and error. During our chat we learn about the intentional process that Madeline holds in her practice down to the colour of foods she eats, dive into her winding creative journey, and learn why music is tightly linked to her creative output. I think what I loved most about this conversation is the fantastically healthy and positive perspective that Madeline has not only on creativity but life in general. Madeline talks about how to beat the resistance through friendship and finding your tribe, she shares her experiences and learnings with us about trust, ambiguity, finding yourself and your style. So many great analogies and mantra's shared in this one, too many to count, so I hope you enjoy. Jump in as Madeline makes me blush, we do my favourite thing in the whole world, talk gardening analogies and we launch Madelines Mantra. Introducing Madeline Holt On Immersive Art.

Quotes

"Creativity is such a natural thing, it kind of lines up like Nature you know it has cycles, it has seasons."

"It's understanding where you are at in your cycle or season, it's not going to be a linear output of creativity and content, that's not how the creative process flows."

"The ability to be adaptable and be able to change and pivot is a really valuable tool or reflex within the creative practice. 

"Trust and show up for the practice."

"It's about staying engaged with the question and not seeking answers."

"The moment between idea and action, keeping that as short as possible."

"The things that benefit us most are not the things that we intellectualise, it's the things that we experience through our body."

"Just because you don't know how to do something doesn’t mean you cant do it.
