Listen "Joanne Olney - Fragility & Delicacy"
Episode Synopsis
Joanne is an artist and photographer whose work is “based in semi-abstraction, purposefully balanced between representational and the imagined. in my role as an artist, these two elements have become an integral part of my motivation to create, with the ‘doing’ often as important as the outcome. I firmly believe that natural curiosity and creative pursuits are essential to healthy living, regardless of age or education.” Jo shares her experiences and how they impact her daily life and her long term connections. Her obsession with fragility and delicacy is linked to her fascination with awe and transience, resiliency, and mortality. TakeawaysIf you really listen to people, you hear more. If you really look, you see more. If you care, you get more.A piece is finished when it stops talking to me.Resilience is tolerating emotional discomfort.Ask yourself, “And what’s so bad about that?”Accept limitations that some things just can’t be changed. We can only change our bit.LinksJoanne OlneyJoanne Olney on InstagramJoanne Olney on Facebook Joanne Olney on PinterestAWE: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, Dacher Keltner
