Prof. David Andrew series (Life as Art): For Ishkar and Bivash. The art of emotional courage
My brother, Ishkar Richard, 13 years younger than I was one of Prof. David's students. He passed by suicide on August 1st, 2014, just after graduating with a degree in Fine Arts and 2 years after ny brother Bivash Richard passed in the same way. You will notice thay I dont use the phrase "committed suicide" because mental health is just as important as physical and emotional health and is not a crime. We don't say committed a heart attack or a stroke. Ishkar Richard is one of my role models (not past tense). For his whole 23 Earth years, he embodied raw authenticity, truth and deep emotional courage...something I am only just learning. David shares what Ishkar and his artistry meant for him, reflecting on his presence, his depth and his impact. We talk about his exhibition "Mindfuck" just after Bivash died, and the impact that had on Prof. and everyone who stood witness to it. This conversation was deeply triggering and emotional for me and Prof. and you will notice many pauses in the recording. I have intentionally not edited them out because silence is as important in communication as words are. It is a space where words go to rest, where presence and emotion hold the space. In silence, the most profound Truths are spoken.I apologise, you will hear a few seconds of audio where i was adjusting the mic...i should have paused.. still learning but I chose to keep it in as part of the imperfection in showing up ...

Prof. David Andrew series: Life as Art_Ep. 4 What makes an Artwork compelling?
Prof. David describes how when an artwork keeps coming back and he is not even aware of the title, its like reuniting with an old friend. The artistry never gets old whenever you look at it and from whatever angle. He explains, from his perspective, how being honest about your work shows up, and evokes emotion and inspiration in others. If and when you are authentic in your expression and willing to do the work, therein lies the masterpiece and the world feels that.
