Altars & Creative Rituals: A Conversation with Llewellyn Skye

Send us Fan MailDaring Creatively: Unfiltered is an Australian art podcast where Sydney-based contemporary artist Korynn Morrison picks up the phone, drops a surprise topic into the conversation, and hits record.In this episode Korynn calls Gold Coast-based contemporary Australian artist Llewellyn Skye (known simply as Skye) mid-way through her current solo exhibition Blood, Milk and Honey at Curatorial+Co in Sydney. The surprise topic: Alters and Creative Rituals.Skye's studio is a living altar. Three walls dedicated to three energetic zones. Handmade ceramics, vintage dressers, natural-dyed fabric, inherited objects from the women in her matrilineal line, all of it feeding directly into one of the most spiritually charged and emotionally honest bodies of work she has ever made.In this unfiltered conversation two artists talk about the courage it takes to step into a new creative evolution publicly, the altars Skye built in her studio and the releasing ritual she opened her exhibition with, pulling tarot cards mid-process, the women who follow her around the studio, how an overseas residency cracked something open that years of back-to-back shows never could, the psychic moment Korynn had walking into the exhibition for the first time, and what your 96 year old self would tell you right now.This one will give you goosebumps. New episodes drop whenever the call happens.LINKS:Skye's Instagram / websiteBlood, Milk and Honey at Curatorial+Co Sydney — on until May 9thReference: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola EstésReference: The Artist's Way by Julia CameronJoin My Inner Circle: https://www.korynnmorrison.com/mailing-listVisit My Website: https://www.korynnmorrison.com/Find me on Instagram HERE
