In Episode 15 of The Mirror, I talk about the importance of taking risks as an artist, being prepared to fail, to do things that are unpopular, and to experiment - especially in the homogenised desert of our contemporary culture. I detail the 5 year-long making of David Lynch's debut feature film Eraserhead, and the long, lingering process of the painter Antonio López García, as well as discussing the impact of early silent cinemas innovators and the importance of sharing your work with others as a way of understanding what makes you unique in your process and final works.
