When I found out that two of Melbourne’s most-loved homewares brands – Kip & Co and Robert Gordon – were collaborating on a range of tableware, I got very excited.

Then when I found out that the sets of siblings behind each company grew up together in Melbourne’s outereast, I knew I had to write about their coincidental connection. Along with seeing the fascinating process of crafting handmade pottery, I heard a story of family values and a true passion for bringing beauty into people’s homes. I hope you enjoy reading our cover story as much as I enjoyed writing it. ●

Faces of Victoria

Archibald Prize 2022 ANZ people’s choice award winner, Samuel Johnson OAM (detail) by Jeremy Eden, © the artist, image © AGNSW, Felicity Jenkins.

Some of Melbourne’s most famous faces feature in this year’s Archibald portraits.

P

rominent Victorians, including author Helen Garner and contemporary artist Patricia Piccinini, have had their portraits painted as part of this year’s Archibald Prize. Now 52 finalists have their work on show at Bunjil Place Gallery in Narre Warren.

The 2022 Archibald Prize was awarded to Dhungatti artist Blak Douglas in May for his portrait of Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens, but a portrait of Daylesford-based actor and cancer charity campaigner Samuel Johnson by artist Jeremy Eden won the people’s choice award this year.

Eden met Johnson in Melbourne last year after his near-fatal car accident in June 2021. The awardwinning actor was forthcoming in having his portrait captured – showing him holding a photo of the artist’s mother, Annette, who had died from cancer in 2008.

Other Melburnians featured in this year’s portraits include Lisa McCune by Yvonne East, Deborah Conway by Lewis Miller, and Dylan Alcott by Felix von Dallwitz.

“The Archibald Prize is always a snapshot of the Australian people, and this year brings together selfportraits that provide a glimpse of the artists’ internal worlds alongside those that celebrate leading figures who are making this country a better and more equitable place to be,” says Bunjil Place Gallery director Georgia Cribb.

Victorian artist Natasha Bieniek paints Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary artist Patricia Piccinini, who has a studio in Collingwood. Best known for her interdisciplinary work and recent Skywhale, that whoppingly large hot air balloon that is 34 metres long

and blurs the line between the animal and human world.

“Working in miniature, Natasha has been a finalist in the Archibald for the past five years running,” Cribb says.

“She has astonishing technical skill, and this portrait is yet another masterwork. This jewel-like painting is just 18.5 centimetres wide, an intimate scale comparable to a smartphone but instead asks us to look deeply.”

Melbourne-based artist Richard Lewer is another finalist for a fourth year in a row.

He is represented in the exhibition by portraits of art collector Liz Laverty and vowed to continue to paint her for the prize until he wins, or she refuses.

Victorian artist Kathryn Hattam whose work Helen Garner speaks French is a counterpoint to the realist paintings in the exhibition, evocatively painted in gouache and charcoal over a collaged surface made from book pages.

“Hattam is a senior Victorian artist but first-time finalist,” Cribb says. “The artist and subject, renowned writer Garner, have been long-time friends.”

The memory of lockdown is captured in the work of another local Melbourne artist Jonathan Dalton and his piece Day 77.

“The threads across this year’s prize are a mirror of our collective experience of the last year,” Cribb says. “Jonathan Dalton’s work is a beautiful tribute to his lockdown experience and one that I connect with only too well.” ● ARCHIBALD PRIZE 2022 \ Bunjil Place until October 16. ● bunjilplace.com.au JA N E R O C CA

THEATRE

nne-Louise Sarks is starting as she means to go on. Her debut program for Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC) sets out her manifesto on its first page – theatre is for everyone.

As the company’s first female artistic director, she’s been working hard to bring new voices and talent to Melbourne stages.

Sarks hopes her first season will give our city a chance to come together and share its stories after a couple of incredibly difficult years.

“I think that shared experience is what theatre has to offer all the time, but it’s never been as important as it feels now,” Sarks says. “I think we make sense of ourselves through storytelling, and that’s why there’s so much new Australian work in this season. We’re asking questions about who we are and where we’ve come from.”

MTC’s new director is putting Melbourne stories centre stage.

Role of a lifetime The 2023 season is bookended by two new and very Melbourne stories. The first, Sunday, is an audacious fantasy inspired by the myths surrounding Heide founder Sunday Reed. At the other end of the year is A Very Jewish Christmas Carol, in which Caulfield baker Elysheva Scroogeavitz is determined not to let Chrismukkah get in the way of fulfilling customer demand for her famous Polish gingerbread.

Sarks says this crowd-pleasing and cultureclashing twist on the Dickens classic sums up her desire to fuse tradition with innovation.

“It’s bringing another perspective to a story we know and love. We’re all grappling with how to unite these different traditions that we have, particularly at that time of year.”

An eagerness to welcome new perspectives into the company is reflected throughout the program, most notably with Is God Is from American playwright Aleshea Harris. A revenge tale featuring two African-

American sisters heading out to kill their father, the play is co-directed by Zindzi Okenyo and Shari Sebbens, whose previous collaboration, seven methods of killing kylie jenner jenner, was a smash hit in theatres around Australia. ““Is God Is just feels like a kind of bold, fresh theatrical event,” Sarks says.

“I really want to open up the company and create an invitation for everyone to come and be a part of it. My ambition is for theatre to be at the centre of the cultural life of this city and for everyone to feel some ownership of Melbourne Theatre Company and the stories that we tell.”

While she can’t talk about them yet, there is a range of soon-to-be-announced programs and initiatives that are designed to help promote new voices within the company. Sarks knows the importance of these programs first-hand – one of them kick-started her theatrical career with MTC decades ago.

“I really wouldn’t be here if that opportunity hadn’t been provided to me, so I’m determined to give that opportunity to the next generation of artists,” she says.

This inclusiveness also means welcoming in audiences who might previously have thought theatre wasn’t for them, perhaps seeing it as too middle-class, too white, or too elitist. Is there a show in the new program recommended for someone who has never seen a play?

Sarks narrows it down to two: Is God Is and Bloom, a new Melbourne musical about aged care from the Working Dog team. Again, she sees Bloom as a great example of her approach to MTC – bringing the city together to tell new stories.

“It’s a really special show about how the younger and older generations can enrich each other’s lives and asks some important questions about ageing in our society,” she says. “And it’s a musical! For me, it does everything.” ●

COVER STORY

I

n the 1990s in Melbourne’s outer-eastern suburbs, a second-generation potter was teaching his craft to his children. Three of them would one day go on to take over the family business, which was, and still is, one of Australia’s best-known and loved homewares brands – Robert Gordon.

At the same time, two sisters were growing up in a similarly creative household not too far away, and even attended the same, close-knit high school as Gordon’s two daughters Kate and Hannah.

The sisters were Kate Heppell and Hayley Pannekoecke – two of the women behind cult bedding-turned-lifestyle brand Kip & Co. “We were in all different year levels, but all knew each other because it’s a really tiny school,” Heppell says. “They are such a beautiful family. Kate was three years older than me at school, but I have beautiful memories of her being that older girl at school and admiring her back then.”

The two Kates kept in touch over the years – with Gordon writing to Heppell after seeing her home featured in The Design Files.

“I said, ‘Your house is incredible; in a sea of beige, it’s amazing to see so much colour’,” Robert Gordon creative director Kate Gordon says.

“I watched them all the time, and I remember going to a trade fair and seeing their stuff and just being so amazed at how confident they were to see a hole in the market and come out with a whole new product.

“One day, I was like ‘we should make some pots for you’.”

Since its inception in 2012, Kip & Co – which Heppell and Pannekoecke run with their friend Alex McCabe – has moved from bedding and linen into apparel, homewares and now tableware. And there was no one better to help them bring a collection of ceramics to life than their childhood friends, the Gordons.

Three of Robert Gordon’s four children – Bobby, Hannah and Kate – are now all directors at the pottery, with Bobby and Hannah also working as general managers.

The Kip & Co x Robert Gordon collection includes plates, bowls, mugs and servingware and is everything you would expect from both brands – exquisitely crafted pottery from Robert Gordon, which is sleek yet solid, and fun, bold prints in vibrant colours from Kip & Co. “We’ve kind of coined the term ‘maximalist tablescaping’,” Heppell says.

“Moving away from plain table cloths and clear glassware to beautiful coloured glassware and exciting plates.”

Along with the everyday range of tableware, Gordon and the Kip & Co team created a collection of limited edition vases in the Robert Gordon pottery in Pakenham.

Each vase was hand-poured from slip made from NSW clay. They used vintage Robert Gordon moulds from the 1980s for the three distinct styles.

Gordon says there has been a resurgence in the desire for handmade pottery in the past five years, with the previous appetite for factory-produced “perfection” waning.

“I think there is a nostalgia for things that look like they’ve been touched by hand rather than being mass-produced,” she says.

Collaborations are not foreign to either team; both companies routinely work with other designers, makers, artists – even writers – to create unique collections.

Kip & Co have worked on collections with Volley sneakers, Milton & King wallpaper and Frank Green reusable cups, to name a few. And, they have another one coming up to coincide with their 10year anniversary this year – with the trio’s creative idol Ken Done.

“Artistically, he is who the three of us think is so fantastic and so iconically Australian,” Heppell says. “We all have such strong, nostalgic memories of his art.

“The most important thing we get out of collaborations is working with other specialists – we don’t try to be the specialist in every area.”

The Robert Gordon team has worked with artist David Bromley, homewares brand Jumbled and children’s book author and illustrator Alison Lester – and they have another collection with Kip & Co in the works, too.

“The people that we work with do have to have similar values to what we have. A lot of honesty and transparency is involved, not big, massive egos and just a love of making product,” Gordon says.

It’s this way of working that seems to bring the creatives behind the two brands together even more so than their shared history. Heppell says she thinks the Gordons and the Kip & Co team came to the collaboration with a “generous spirit”.

“Their parents feel like they were cut from a similar cloth to our parents. I can just see it in how they run their business,” she says. “I think family really is at the root of both of our brands.”

For Gordon, the key is not just family but the dedicated staff who work with them. “Our team is the reason we have such longevity,” Gordon says.

“We are very passionate about what we do, and we love it. We understand how special it is.” ●

Food evolution

T

here’s plenty to be proud of as Melburnians, but we can be especially chuffed that our city is home to the longest continuous Chinese settlement in the Western world. When the population boomed to the beat of the gold rush in the 1850s, Chinese migrants opened cookhouses – casual eateries that catered to Chinese miners. Soon enough, others developed a taste for the cuisine, too, with Chinatown on Little Bourke Street evolving from the cookhouses.

By 1970, there were 150 Chinese restaurants in Melbourne’s city and suburbs. Iconic Chinatown restaurants that remain open today include Flower Drum (1975), Supper Inn (1977) and Shark Fin Inn (1980).

Since then, the overwhelmingly Cantonese offering changed to include other regions. Secondgeneration Chinese-Australian chefs (many of whom are celebrities) serve traditional food through a local lens.

As awareness of the need for equality increases, it’s raised

Melbourne’s modern Chinese eateries fuse old and new – but are some dishes sacred?

R O S H E E N K AU L

important questions: What is authenticity? Who should profit from a culture’s food? How do we walk the fine line between appreciation and appropriation?

Enter Moonhouse, the latest restaurant from Commune Group (Firebird, New Quarter, Hanoi Hannah and Tokyo Tina). The menu is rooted in Chinese dishes but combines influences. For example, bisque dip accompanies prawn toast instead of the usual sweet chilli. It seesaws between Sunday yum cha nostalgia and European fine dining.

To many, the vegan dan dan noodles, generously topped with diced mushrooms, are not dan dan noodles. They lack the fattiness of pork mince and essential chilli hit associated with the traditional dish.

Many of the Euro-Australian clientele at Moonhouse will be trying these dishes for the first time, not knowing they differ from the traditional, authentic cuisine.

“I think it definitely needs context,” says Rosheen Kaul, head chef at Etta restaurant and co-author of the Chinese-ish cookbook.

Her mother is Chinese-Filipino and was born in Singapore, where she met Kaul’s Kashmiri father.

Kaul has a recipe for dan dan noodles in her cookbook. It’s a recreation of the childhood version she would eat in Malaysia when visiting her father, who worked there.

She made the dish for her brotherin-law, who lived in Sichuan, and his parents. They said it tasted like home.

“That is the biggest compliment you could ever pay someone,” Kaul says.

It makes sense that if a dish doesn’t taste how someone remembers, they think it’s a f lop.

While Moonhouse’s dan dan noodles differ from Kaul’s, they are head

chef Shirley Summakwan’s restaurant-worthy version of what her grandfather used to feed her.

“My grandpa cooked instant noodles and put peanut butter on them, and he called it dan dan noodles,” she says. “It tastes just like the dan dan noodles we have now.”

Summakwan was born and raised in Indonesia, but her grandparents are Fujian Chinese, and she identifies more with Chinese culture than Indonesian.

When Moonhouse opened, the Hainanese club sandwich became the signature dish.

Poached chicken and crisp chicken skin are held between two white bread circles and served with gravy for dipping.

Three people contributed to the Moonhouse menu other than Summakwan: Simon Blacher, Commune Group’s creative director, S O F IA L E VI N

executive chef Anthony Choi and the former sous chef, who is Taiwanese.

“The directors have the final say, but growing up, I had Hainanese chicken all the time because Indonesia is close to Singapore,” says Summakwan.

“Simon suggested, why don’t we make it as a sandwich? So we did.”

SBS Bad Taste podcast host Jess Ho says they want nothing to do with the dish.

“The beauty of Hainanese chicken is having the rice. Yes, there is modernity and industrialisation, but even then, we have our own bakery traditions. Where is that bread?”

Ho says.

Summakwan says she is proud of her menu, but understands that some will expect more traditional plates.

“Going into Pacific Barbecue or Dainty Sichuan, you expect more authentic dishes, but coming to a Commune restaurant, they should expect an element of surprise.” ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Changing the game

ST CATHERINE’S SCHOOL

‘S

chools have a unique opportunity to not only deliver physical education and school sport well but also to create a culture in which being active is the norm,” says Michelle Carroll, principal of St Catherine’s School.

“We know that if girls are physically active, they will be healthier, happier and have higher selfesteem and body confidence. We aim to ‘change the game’ for our girls by lifting the sporting landscape, enabling a positive experience and engaging all our girls in sport.”

While research shows families have the most influence on how active their child is, Carroll believes schools and teachers have an essential role in encouraging girls to play sport and to “stay in the game”.

Having worked in girls’ education for 30 years, Carroll has seen firsthand that not all girls are enthusiastic about being involved in sport. She is keen to change this.

“For a range of reasons, we know that girls drop out of sport and tapping into the sporting enthusiasm of adolescent girls can be tricky,” she says. “It requires offering a range of sports, creating a balance between highly competitive activities and just playing for fun, and, importantly, we need to offer facilities that girls feel comfortable in. We aim to ensure all our girls graduate and pursue an active adult life.”

The approach is paying dividends.

Recently, at the prestigious Henley Royal Regatta in the United Kingdom, St Catherine’s Senior Rowing Crew was crowned the world’s fastest Schoolgirl Eight, bringing home the Prince Philip Challenge Trophy.

This international accolade sits alongside back-toback wins at the Head of the Schoolgirls (HOSG) Rowing Regatta, and the crew is the current Rowing Australia National Champion.

Year 12 student and crew member Sarah Marriott says teachers at St Catherine’s have been influential in her decision to participate in sport and compete.

“I would not have been able to stay motivated without the help of the school staff. They motivated me to manage my time, exercise and work hard in my academic studies,” she says. “Rowing requires commitment, preparation, pride and

C H A M PI O N C R E W

professionalism within a limited time, so time management, organisation and being able to prioritise are crucial. An Eight cannot go out until the entire crew is there, so you must be on time or early, or else you affect everyone.”

Sarah began rowing at the end of year 8 through St Catherine’s Learn to Row program.

“I love the demanding yet rewarding nature of rowing. It is not an easy sport; it requires constant hard work, focus and a driven mindset,” says Sarah.

“It is so rewarding when all eight rowers are perfectly in sync, creating a strong and powerful rhythm that sets up the boat well. Winning is pretty good too!”

St Catherine’s has enhanced its Sports Program this year through its Athlete Development Academy (ADA).

The academy is a platform for aspiring female athletes to develop their abilities through

ST CATHERINE’S SCHOOL \ 17 Heyington Place, Toorak 3142 ● 03 9822 1285 ● stcatherines.net.au

individualised, sport-specific training programs and a suite of athlete education services.

“The aim of the ADA is to assist and develop girls who are already showing talent and promise in their chosen sports to get them to the next level and beyond,” says Carroll. “It’s important that girls feel empowered and confident in their chosen sports and that they understand the benefits of strength training for their everyday wellbeing.

“Through the ADA, we can educate our female athletes to build their confidence and provide them with guidance and support in goal setting, nutrition, sports psychology, load management and mindset.

“We think it’s an innovative approach to not only build the physical capabilities of our athletes at St Catherine’s but also empower our young women to better understand the importance of strength and conditioning as part of their lifelong health.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Soaked in glamour and bringing to mind the sunny hedonism of Malibu, this Beaumaris house is rare and special.

From the front gate to the rear wall, it celebrates all that is fun about an indoor-outdoor lifestyle – and does so with incredible style infused with mid-century ideas.

There is no garden path leading to the front door here.

There is, instead, a bridge across a sparkling blue, detailed, multilevel pool with a spa at one end and a conversation pit at the other. In between are shallow sections, stepping blocks, water features and a suspended deck – all framed by greenery.

Across the front of the house, a covered entertainment terrace has a built-in barbecue kitchen.

Inside, glass, stone and timber create an interior filled with light, warmth and texture. The ground floor is almost entirely living area with the kitchen and dining section separated from the lounge by a single-stringer timber staircase with glass balustrade and a large skylight above.

In the lounge section, a fireplace with marble hearth is set in a feature wall of rough stone. The stone and marble are repeated on the opposite side of the room in the kitchen’s island bench and contrast perfectly there with charcoal cabinetry. The kitchen has a butler’s pantry and premium Miele appliances.

Also in this zone are a powder room, a laundry concealed behind an oak feature wall, a storeroom and stairs to the basement car park.

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.
