Can you build a career in a visual medium if you can’t visualize images in your mind? At CIFF 2026, we spoke with Invisible Imagination co-directors Sarah Taylor and Anna Cooley about aphantasia, hyper-visualization, and how differently our brains create. #CIFF2026

It means continuing to seek out Indigenous voices, stories, artists, writers, knowledge keepers, and organizations, and taking the time to understand the history and realities that continue beyond this day. #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation

Still thinking about how damn good When Words Collide was. So many incredible literary people, conversations, and ideas. I came home planning to share my seminar notes and accidentally wrote a booklet instead. The Scar Principle is free. No signup. hfvd.link/wwc2026-blog

Your best work doesn’t come from peace. it comes from pressure, chaos, and maybe a little delusion. keep going. As for me? Currently running on caffeine, cortisol, and compliments. Happy Thursday, my creatives.

New year. New chaos. Here’s the plan. Mental health, music, muscles, and making cool shit with even cooler people. (And really, I should learn how to sing on key. And what a key is. Where to find it...)

2025 was wild and beautiful. The people I met, the places I went, the things we built together. I’m deeply thankful for everyone in my life. As a few of you know, the last little while has been a lot. Things I never expected to face. But we’re still standing. Here’s to 2026.

Chris Corvan @chrisofthevoid.thehouseofvoid.com · 26/11/2025

Yeah, I tried my best, but the fates were stacked against me, and dropped too many things for me to handle. So, instead of rushing and putting out the project quickly and probably poorly, I'm going to take my time. That's it for now. You all rock.
