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.

Collecting: Living with Art book launch

Last year I had a dream commission, working with Kym Elphinstone to help realise her new book, Collecting: Living with Art (Thames & Hudson Australia) that is out this week.

Over seven months I had the joy of interviewing 26 artists, collectors and creatives, talking to them and writing about their ideas of home, creativity, the role of art (and artists) in their lives and what it meant to live with art on their walls, in their wardrobes and even, occasionally, on their ceilings.

There’s profiles on Penelope Seidler AM, Gene Sherman AM, Tony Albert, Ramesh Mario Nithyendran, Lottie Consalvo & James Drinkwater and so many more.

I’m excited to be in conversation with Kym and Stephen Todd, Design Editor for the Australian Financial Review, tomorrow at Berkelouw Books in Paddington, sharing some of these really special stories and insights.

The book is on sale now everywhere but if you purchase it via the Thames & Hudson website here, you can get a 20% discount with the code LIVINGWITHART20

You can read more about the book here.
