The Spark: Jimmy Turrell on Snails, Rave Culture and Creative Chaos

from The Creative Boom Podcast · host Katy Cowan

Artist Jimmy Turrell returns for The Spark, where things get a little weirder and a lot more chaotic. This week, we talk about the creative power of curiosity, the music that still puts Jimmy into a flow state, and why some of the best ideas come from getting out into the world and actually living a bit. There's also chat about rave culture, Anthony Bourdain, creative rituals, burnout, weighted blankets, album covers, childhood memories and an unexpectedly passionate tangent about eating snails. Somewhere underneath all the nonsense is a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about creativity, imagination and staying open to life. This one definitely feels like the bit of the night where everyone should’ve gone home hours ago, but nobody wants the conversation to end.
