Shift Stirrers – Michellè Benson-Find inspiration with the eyes of a child
Michellè Benson has just returned from Christmas Island, and her creative cup is overflowing. Rosemary turns the tables and puts her co-host in the chair to talk about what happens when an artist goes looking for inspiration — and what finds her instead.
From red crab shells to volcanic rock to water frozen mid-air from a blowhole, Michelle shares how a photography course on one of Australia's most remote islands rewired how she sees the world. She talks about the "ugly beautiful," why writing is her path to clarity, and how a creative collective frees ideas to surface.
Warm, wandering, and full of wonder.
