Today we are catching up with Conor Collins, a Visual Artist based in Manchester, England, who is known for making artworks using unconventional materials such as diamond dust, blood, and hate speech found on social media.
He first moved to Manchester to study, and it was here that he found Poptastic, a club night targeted mainly at students that played an eclectic mix of music.
We caught up to discuss getting comfortable with rejection, sleeping with your school bully, and pee-shyness (which seems to be a recurring theme on this show!).
Did you ever go to Poptastic, or have any memories of Manchester's Canal Street that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to!
Bonus points for embarrassing photos!
You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter - @lostspacespod
And, whilst you're at it - go give Conor some love - his website can be found at https://www.conartworks.com/, and he is on Instagram and Twitter @conartworks.
