Novelist Pip Adam reflects on the processes involved in three of her recent projects: a novel, The New Animals (2017); a community newspaper and art project; and her educational work in creative writing classes in prisons. Drawing on Raymond Williams and Kenneth Goldsmith, Adam considers the relationship between the work of art and the work involved in producing art, and consider some of the ways in which the language of creativity and inspiration may undermine democratic energies.
