Hilary and Eleanor talk about body in image and sensation in this episode, ranging from practices of life drawing to drawing our own symbols of beauty to define it. We talk about Eleanor's life-drawing and writing event, learning to feel the body as a sensory companion, and an altar of trust building. We touch on themes of compliments, comparison, and the complications of love with this body of a lifetime. Questions we explored:Do you think our sense of beauty is innate or learned?What happens when women see each other without comparison — just with presence and artistry?How did life modelling impact your concept of your body?Tips on how to nurture a positive relationship to your body.

Eleanor and Hilary explore how we make, perceive, and move through time, discovering time as a tool that leads to synchronicity, how finding our rhythm and pace shapes our relationships, involving love, presence, and life itself.

We dive into the theme of memory through playing with cyanotype, capturing moments in sunlight and shadow, and how those images hold more than just what we see, they hold where we were, how we felt, and what our bodies remember. From personal stories to the idea of body memory, exploring the traces we carry of our ancestors and how memory lives in more than just our minds.

Reflections on reflections, Eleanor’s first exhibition ~ Project 88 and realisations on devotion, artistic offerings in nature, doing art for the love of it beyond illusions of originality and platitude. We talk about rest, frustration and boredom being inevitable parts of the process and move to a deep investigation of true authority that devotion calls for.
