Fever Dreams is a miniseries featuring works of fiction, essays and non-fiction read without embellishment or analysis. Literature was my first great artistic love, and I regard it as possibly the richest art form, with its ability to showcase the dark interior of humanity, and traverse time, place and space unlike any other medium. Fever Dreams features a selection of the macabre and the mundane, the fantastical and the concrete, works that have struck me in a meaningful fashion, and that I feel are worth sharing.
Our sixth dream (and final for this season) is What is a podcast? by Anselm McGovern. McGovern offers a salient reckoning with social realities of podcasts, and their simultaneous alienating and comforting features. The essay can be read here.

In Episode 19, after an extended life update, I discuss the passing of manga-ka Kentaro Miura and the way that cultural reactions show the range of ways that people respond to such news (in some ways better than others). With this event as a heuristic for contemporary culture, I posit a different way of viewing artists - as people first, separate from their work, and irreducible to the sum total of their creations - and speak about the power and impact of Miura's Berserk series.

In this special episode, I am joined by my sister Ebony who creates in a range of mediums from fashion design, collage, and film, and we discuss subjectivity in art, the power of raising questions without positing answers, and the magic of viewing art out in the real world. We touch on a range of film work, including Citizen Kane by Orson Welles, Memories of Murder and Parasite by Bong-Joon Ho and the work of Wong Kar Wai, as well as discussing the importance of curating your own taste, making your art your way, and the necessity for curiosity.

In Episode 17 of The Mirror, I extol the virtues of a practice of reflection and lingering as part of a meaningful life, and a healthy approach to creating art. This extensive look at my own practice is a recap on the previous 6 months of changes in my life, from quitting social media and developing a healthier relationship to communication technology, as well as expanding my artistic horizons through watching films and reading fiction literature. I offer in this episode how all of this has informed my practice for the better, along with my view of what separates humans from mere animals, before sharing some insights from Frank Herbert's brilliant novel Dune.

Episode 16 of The Mirror is a special episode, one devoted entirely to discussing Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, a film from 2012 that is both a wonderfully crafted work of cinema, and a powerful lens through which to look at our highly-subjectivised times. The Master, in both cinematography and performance, exemplifies a rare restraint in Western cinema, and takes a beautifully naturalistic approach, finding more in common with the European arthouse than contemporary Hollywood cinema. This study is spoiler free, and goes into detail in the form and process of cinema.

Our fourth dream is A Hunger Artist by Franz Kafka, a short story that was first published in 1928, and details the tragic reflection on life by a hunger artist at the nadir of his career and public popularity. The story presciently illuminates the way our contemporary world views artists, the transience of culture, and modernity's spiritual death.

In Episode 15 of The Mirror, I talk about the importance of taking risks as an artist, being prepared to fail, to do things that are unpopular, and to experiment - especially in the homogenised desert of our contemporary culture. I detail the 5 year-long making of David Lynch's debut feature film Eraserhead, and the long, lingering process of the painter Antonio López García, as well as discussing the impact of early silent cinemas innovators and the importance of sharing your work with others as a way of understanding what makes you unique in your process and final works.

Our third dream is Good For Nothing, by Mark Fisher. This essay details the mental health suffering of the writer and cultural critic Mark Fisher, whose work has been incredibly influential over the past decade in left-wing thought, as well impacting the culture through his relationship with musicians and artists like The Caretaker and Burial. In Good For Nothing, Fisher ties his own experiences to the collective depression we all experience under contemporary capitalism, making the necessary connection that our mental health crises are political.
This essay was published in 2014 via The Occupied Times. Tragically, Mark Fisher took his own life in 2017 after a lifetime of struggling with debilitating depression. His work remains as poignant and prescient as ever and his book Capitalist Realism is essential reading. On a very personal note, this essay describes nearly exactly the reality of my life as I have experienced it, so for this reason as well, Fisher's work is incredibly important to me.

From a small slice of paradise, in Episode 13 of The Mirror, I discuss my personal experience that led me to the path of becoming an artist, and pose the questions I feel one must ask themselves when determining if the art life is just a hobby, or a complete lifestyle choice. I get very philosophical, attempting to describe art and it's role for humanity, as well as the benefits of working with physical mediums, and the many various forms that cinema can take. I have shared in the episode links a selection of incredibly experimental, avant-garde, and revolutionary films from throughout film history, that I feel any artist would get a lot from.

Following a free-form narrative thread centred around our seeking of pleasure and catharsis within entertainment, Episode 12 of The Mirror is the strongest manifesto yet of my beliefs about art, the current cultural and material conditions we find ourselves in, and the alternatives available to us. I speak about the political cooptation of art by commercial interests, and the way this limits our imagination of the forms that art can take, as well as how our lives have become completely mediated by the frictionless fantasies offered to us by the Internet. Touching on the film work of Bela Tarr and Michael Haneke, which form a counterpoint to the dominant commercial format and language of Hollywood Cinema, I return to the necessity of needing to develop your own craft, beyond the reach and influence of the monoculture.

In this special episode, we look at the life, work and philosophy of Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. Tarkovsky and his films have been a major inspiration for me, and I share with you the story of his life, as well as exploring his philosophy on cinema as an art form through a series of speeches and writings taken from throughout his career. Tarkovsky viewed cinema as an art form that is as important to humanity as painting, poetry, music, and philosophy, and this is evident in his films as well as in the way he lived his life.

We finish our Dosing Culture reading series with the second part of Chris Crawford's illuminating essay, which delves deeper into how contemporary modes of creative production are built around our psychotically-networked culture, as well as situating the historical role of art as that which points to universal truths and the possibility of a truly human world. As with the previous episode, I'd highly recommend you read both parts of the essay in full, linked below, and make some time to reflect upon how this relates to your own consumption habits and creative process.

In Episode 9 of The Mirror, I share with you an essay by Chris Crawford about the way contemporary culture is produced and consumed in an endless stream of doses, and the psychological effects this has on us. I read the first part of this illuminating and fantastic essay in full, and then share my thoughts and reactions to it, going into detail how after first reading it I had a coming to god moment in regards to my own life, habits and experience of consuming culture. This work truly puts into words that which I have felt but could not articulate, so I'm excited to share it with you and I hope you get something from it as well. I highly urge you to read it in full (the link is below), and I will be sharing with you my reading of Part Two in the next episode.

In Episode 8 of The Mirror, I ruminate on the double-edged sword of entertainment, touching upon the work of Sigmund Freud and his Pleasure Principle, and how this affects the way we both view and create contemporary works of art. One of the dangers of our entertainment-based culture is a watering down and limiting of our imagination, and the creations that are birthed from it. For the main portion of the episode, I then outline my approach to making space in your life for Intentional Art Experiences - how I've largely extricated myself from the endless streams of content in search of richer, more rewarding and challenging works both screen-based and in the material world that inform my own practice and imagination.

Fever Dreams is a miniseries featuring works of fiction, essays and non-fiction read without embellishment or analysis. Literature was my first great artistic love, and I regard it as possibly the richest art form, with its ability to showcase the dark interior of humanity, and traverse time, place and space unlike any other medium. Fever Dreams features a selection of the macabre and the mundane, the fantastical and the concrete, works that have struck me in a meaningful fashion, and that I feel are worth sharing.
Our first dream is Dagon, by Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Written in 1917, it was the first of many stories by Lovecraft which are considered part of his Cthulhu Mythos, featuring cosmic entities and unimaginable horrors. If you enjoy this story, I'd highly recommend his longer tale The Colour Out Of Space, which I regard as his finest writing and storytelling, and which I may consider reading for a future dream. You can read his stories online at the H.P. Lovecraft Archive.
