Wendy Bagnall - a time for reflection
Wendy Bagnall is a photographic artist who lives in Surrey, England, the natural landscape being the inspiration behind her work.Wendy tells us about her unsettled feelings about her photography. She is unsure quite what's troubling her but finds herself in a funny phase, questioning lots of things, feeling a loss of identity and possibly a lack of a challenge. She's been doing a lot of reflecting and reading, not forcing anything, just giving herself space. Co-incidentally, Margaret finds herself in a similar situation and whilst not bored with photography itself, is bored with the same old conversations around the more superficial things such as technicals but is excited around conversations such as self compassion, perfectionism and creativity at a deeper level.They explore how this thoughtful, questioning period is necessary on occasions. Sometimes it's just time to rest and think things through which will hopefully result in more conscious and self-aware work.How to re-inspire yourself when in these lulls? They acknowledging that every so often you have to stop and take stock to ensure you're on the right track and, if not, choose a different path. Hear how they talk about new ways of exploring creativity, eg writing, video, painting etc.This candid, gentle chat gives lots to think about and it will be very interesting to hear how their lives have moved on when they next catch up.Sign up to the next Creative Light Festival here: https://creative-light.co.uk/ Sign up to my newsletter to hear first about new retreats: Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/margaretsoraya/ Join my online Creative Haven community :https://creative-haven.newzenler.com
