Episodic (my new favourite word)

Making Youtube videos is an odd thing; you start with a vague notion that someone, somewhere might benefit and appreciate what you do and then when it seems they do you begin to go deeper and deeper into the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of your practice.

Artists are aware of process, how you go from inspiration to artwork and realising that there is never a final piece until you’ve breathed your last.

As a pastor with a high value for teaching in a way that makes what is being communicated, accessible, I can’t help myself but to find a way to teach effectively the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of my painting process.

And so we arrive at the reason for my current appreciation for the word ‘Episodic’ which describes something that consists of a series of separate parts or events.

In creating videos that are episodic I’ve discovered this slow and easy way that is both patient and considered, hopefully making my process more accessible to the viewer.

I never know how each episode is going to turn out, Its fluid and demonstrates how loosely I’ve learnt to hold expectation of the outcome.

Your feedback has been so helpful, it seems you like this episodic approach as much as I do, little artistic, instructional snacks to munch on as you go about your daily life.

I’m so very grateful that you choose to watch them, that you choose to comment, that you are reading this, it’s a privilege (and a lot of fun)

So ‘Episodic’ is my new favourite word; for all that it means and for all the possibilities it’s producing!!
