Art Guide Australia: Studio profile of Monica Rani Rudhar

Photo: Hamish Ta-mé for Art Guide Australia.

Studio visits with artists are one of my most favourite things to do. These places of creativity, experimentation, vulnerability, possibility, materiality and sometimes mess are their own form of self-portrait and the chance to visit Monica Rani Rudhar at Parramatta Artists Studio for a profile for Art Guide recently was a true highlight.

You can read it here.

And Monica’s show, Just Like the Real Thing is on at Martin Browne Contemporary until 19 July.

Art Guide Australia: Tina Havelock Stevens

I had the absolute joy of talking to Tina Havelock Stevens recently for a new feature for Art Guide Australia, ahead of her major new exhibition at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery.

It turns out Tina and I share similarly formative connections to the landscapes of the Central West of NSW, Wiradjuri Country, which only added to the richness of our chat and my appreciation for her work.

Her new show, Now is a Beginning, runs until 22 June 2025. You can read my feature online here.

ABC Arts: Thinking Together at Bundanon

Detail of Keg de Souza’s Growth in the Shadows, 2025.

I was down on Dharawal Country last month for the opening weekend of Bundanon’s newest exhibition, Thinking Together: Exchanges with the natural world.

Bundanon is such a special part of the world and it’s a vital part of the Australian arts ecology with its residency program and artist commissions.

My write up of the weekend, and my conversations with artists Keg de Souza, Robert Andrew and Isabel and Alfredo Aquilizan has just been published on ABC Arts here.
