Episode 2 - Naomi Woddis interviewed by Anna B. Sexton

Naomi Woddis is a multi-talented photographer, podcaster, poet and artist based in London, UK.

In this episode, we discuss how Naomi has evolved her art practice as she creatively channels her energy whilst facing different creative constraints. She discusses her lived experience of mental health and chronic invisible illnesses pre and during the current pandemic lockdowns in the UK and how the power of making images in her close surroundings links to her podcasting and current return to writing more.

We talked about the importance of supportive peer networks and communities to help creativity and confidence to try different mediums and formats, the push and pull of sharing creative work on social media, taking breaks from social media and the everyday creative inspiration of documenting your own life in whatever methods you feel light you up.
