Beneath the Facade: Diana Miller on Intuition, Creative Life & Breathwork

Send us Fan Mail *Daring 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 Byron Bay-based abstract artist Diana Miller, painter, collagist, wall assemblage maker, and someone whose entire practice is built on the beautiful tension between intuition and control. The surprise topic: *the moment intuition won the argument with your mind.* Diana's most recent solo exhibition *Facade* was built around a radical idea, working back over unsold and returned paintings with carefully planned geometric layers, creating a conversation between the intuitive backgrounds underneath and the more controlled shapes on top. Korynn visited this show three times and got something completely different out of it every single time she stood in front of the work. That is the kind of show this was. In this unfiltered conversation two artists talk about the push pull between intuition and control in the creative process, how Diana's graphic design background secretly underpins everything she makes, the importance of honouring the post exhibition lull and why doing nothing after a big show is not laziness but necessary, her brand new journey into breathwork facilitation and how she plans to combine it with her art practice, moving 31 times and what that constant upheaval has done to her work, Human Design, creative guilt, and joy as the thing we all need more of. If you love art podcasts, conversations about the creative process, or the real behind the scenes life of a working Australian artist, this one is for you. *New episodes drop whenever the call happens.* **Diana Miller Relevant Links:** Diana's website HERE.
