Description
Lynette Wallworth is an artist who is no stranger to long periods of “self-imposed isolation” - the power of contemplation and stillness is pivotal when she creates new works, but this time round like all of us across the globe, this has shifted to “enforced isolation”. Paul and Lynette discuss our needs during this time and how our desires have changed on both a micro and macro level. Comparing the current Pandemic to London’s Bombings of which she experience first hand - Lynette notes back to that real animal instinct - manifested by the desire to connect with those who are constant touchstones in one’s life. “There are a few things we should keenly desire, if we really know what we wanted” - La Rochefoucauld. Lynette recently spoke at The World Economic Forum in January 2020 collecting the Crystal Award for her work in visual art , she also used this time to speak to World leaders about Climate Change at a time when Australia was burning. With the current pandemic one realizes the things that really matter and what to care about in our lives, whether its seeing nature revivify, having clean air and water and a sense of freedom.Credits:Paul Holdengraber - Co-Creator, Host, OLA DirectorAnthony Audi - Co-Creator, Researcher, OLA DirectorAlejandro Cohen - Co-Creator, Producer, ComposerChristian Pitt - Production Coordinator Erin Cooney - Copy, ProductionDublab Team
