DANIEL EATOCK
Welcome to the fifth Other Ways of Seeing conversation. Woohoo number 5! Other Ways of Seeing is a project to discover the personal or not so personal art practices of people who work in the creative industries. Now I’m walking on thin ice here because for the person I’ll be talking to - conceptual artist Daniel Eatock, there is no distinction between personal artwork and commercial art.. it’s all art. And it’s all work. He also has issues with the term ‘Creative Industries’ and what that means to him.. or what it doesn’t mean to him. I mean, I possibly need to edit my whole intro and description of this podcast and project. And that was what our whole conversation was like.. mind-bending. You can almost hear the cogs in my brain grinding away.. Dan has an incredible knack of making you look at things differently and question what you thought you already knew. It was a gift having that time to rework my brain. Stuff I will take away with me and use forever. I hope you do too.Our conversation was recorded in Dan’s amazing studio in East London. We spoke about intention, the artist Ithell Colquhoun, painting and photography as mediums, Fontana, Dan’s rolling pin paintings, work and being creative. We talked about the creative industries (you can’t see me but I’ve put that in inverted commas with my fingers), Andy Warhol’s Factory, compromise and collaboration, Dan’s film for Winsor & Newton with Maria Lax and his one minute circles and one hour circles. Lastly Dan explained how he came to think the way he does and honing that skill, every day.
