On this episode of the podcast, I speak with artist Andrew Schlechten. Andrew is a young creative, trained in design and fine art photography at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Andrew reached out to me a couple of months ago after hearing me on Mike Clelland’s podcast and we chat about Mike a bit in the few minutes of this conversation. I checked out Andrew’s work and heard him speaking about beauty and the necessity for an education in aesthetics, and felt drawn to explore these concepts more deeply. For some reason the lifting up of ideas and ideals around beauty and aesthetics feels connected to moving from Evolution through Suffering to Evolution through Joy and Creativity. Andrew and I talk about the link between beauty and health and how to connect with our personal sense of beauty. This conversation also got me thinking about ecology and beauty, goodness and ethics and how they're all related.
And also, the Greys.
How they don't seem to have art, sex, humor, beauty. And how that might be tied to why they abduct us. So there's that.
Hope you enjoy! Andrew Schlechten
