Today's episode is all about the importance of queering up the creativity process and I am lucky enough to be joined by M Eifler (they/them), a San Francisco-based artist who uses art and technology to explore disability as a hotbed of innovation.
M and I talk about the way their disability has helped them evolve their creative approaches, including their #ArtSchoolFromBed series, the importance of starting where their body is rather than a level of skill, and how their disability actually means they do not have the energy for perfectionism. M also shared how they use a scientific-method-type approach to creativity as a way to invite and welcome the messy and ugly (!) results.
You can find M's work on their website blinkpopshift.com [https://www.blinkpopshift.com/] and you can support them on their Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/BlinkPopShift]and possibly host of their incredible pieces by becoming a patron.
