Judith Nangala Crispin discusses in bold and simple terms what it takes for her to call herself an artist - the joys and the sacrifices.

Beginning her creative journey as a musician, Judith worked as an opera singer and a composer before arriving at poetry and visual art. One of her current projects is using dead animals (roadkill), and transforming them into ethereal works of art.

Judith talks about her commitment to and inspiration from the land - the country she lives and works on, and about searching for her indigenous heritage, tracking down as much as she could about her Great, Great Grandmother Charlotte.

Essential listening for anyone who wants to truly commit to living an artistic life.
