One of the themes that ran through this conversation was connection. Dixon shares what connection means for him, how this translates to his work, to his art and the way in which he works with clients. We talk about his process and how important, how essential it is to take time, to allow space for art to be expressed.We talk about what it means to connect, to self, to others, to country.We talk about some of the challenges around identity he experienced growing up and how that has influenced his work and the work he’s doing now with young, emerging artists and how we can support more aboriginal owned businesses. Towards the end of this conversation Dixon shared some lessons learned through loss, and the grieving process. This conversation had a huge impact on me and has changed how I think about work and how we do it, especially when it comes to how we spend time and what we spend it on.Please make some time and space for this conversation, it deserves it.You can find Dixon's work here www.bayila.com.au and follow him on Instagram here @green_eyed_turtle _If you'd like to share some feedback please contact me via instagram here @mikey.ellis or via the website www.mikeyellis.comAnd please share this episode, it's an important conversation.
