The Unmaking explores the transformations necessary in creative practice. The moments when we have to let go of what used to work, and deal with what follows.

Creative lives, however you choose to define them, are rarely linear. They move through often unexpected phases and cycles of unlearning and re-forming, sometimes requiring us to abandon entire projects or ways of working that no longer fit. These aren't failures, they're the substantive transformations that seem to be a necessary part of meaningful creative pursuit.

The Unmaking began from inside such a process. Shaped by personal lived experience rather than theory, that perspective informs its core purpose, tone, and pace.

Each episode is a long-form conversation, exploring creative transformation across disciplines, generations, and geographies. Recorded in a small mobile studio that moves through the landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand, every conversation is shaped not only by the guest but by the significance of the place they've chosen for us to meet. Shifting light and passing weather provide visual and atmospheric context to the setting. The format is deliberately intimate, with no cameras inside the studio, just our voices and the vibe of the environment within which we sit and talk.

The Unmaking offers a considered space for people engaged in work that matters to them, work that requires continuous transformation. It's for those who understand that the most important work often happens in the gaps: between projects, between versions of ourselves, when the path forward isn't yet clear.
