#10: How Living Abroad Can Improve Your Writing - Ariella Gibson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Writer and artist Ariella Gibson lives a life many of us dream of—making art from a home abroad. But how does that constant shift in perspective actually shape her work? In this episode Ariella and I chat about the direct line between her nomadic lifestyle and her creative output, principally short stories and photography. We also play a brilliant game of "book to movie casting," which leads us into a masterclass on intuitive story structure, and the essential books that fuel her hybrid practice. A compelling look at the stories we live and the stories we make. Not to be missed.
