A portrait is no longer expected to be a realistic rendering, as artists experiment with abstraction and other techniques to convey personality and character.
About Face explores the breadth of contemporary portrait painting in Australia and New Zealand, both in technique and intention. Some artists use their portraiture to engage with social, political or environmental issues; others focus on conveying a narrative and the complexity of the human experience; and some are simply intrigued by human faces and features.

Edited by Marcia Langton AO and Judith Ryan AM, 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art foregrounds Indigenous perspectives on the art history of Australia. 65,000 Years proclaims that Indigenous Australian art – the world’s longest continuing art tradition – began many millennia before the British invasion of Australia. It is the body of traditions that shaped the Australian continent as we know it today in social, economic and environmental terms, but it has only been recognised in the literature of Australian art from the 1980s.
Featuring new writing by over twenty leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, this landmark publication is richly illustrated with over 300 cultural objects and works of art across time periods, forms and techniques, regions and language groups. 65,000 Years celebrates the complex philosophy and powerful aesthetic embodied in these works and addresses this art history in the context of Australia’s colonial history of invasion, dispossession, ethnocide and racist scientific experimentation.
To coincide with the Potter Museum of Art’s 2025 exhibition of the same name.

As an adult, realise what a privilege it was to be in the room during their focused and often fiery discussions. —Sally Sales, ‘Ngura Pulka Epic Country’, 2021 My office is made up of lines of desks. People sit either side of long rows. Rectangular fluorescent lights flicker in their march towards the exteriors. The yellow-white interiors are punctuated by black squares that turn blue in the mornings and back to black in the evenings, when the workers depart. My job is an impossible puzzle that know will never finish, and I won’t win. Each employee, and their network of colleagues, contributes small pieces to the larger picture. A series of narratives of culture are catalogued, collected, displayed, interpreted and put to sleep in storage. I have been doing this for more than a decade now. I belong to a family where a good many of the women have chosen curating or arts practice as their career. I have aunties who have done this job well before I came into this world. Apparently, I didn’t cry when was born. I made gurgling sounds. I was trying to talk. Each year the arts and cultural calendar is chock-ablock full of festivals, prizes, art fairs and symposiums, filled out with full programs of solo and group shows here, there and everywhere. Each year we celebrate the achievements. Each year we commiserate and complain about what hasn’t changed and what still needs to be done. So much still needs to be done. Catalogues are full of the success stories, the big celebrations. In between the wine and canapés, there are violent murders, missing children, legal battles over sacred sites, bureaucratic processes for basic resources that go on for years, countless deaths related to chronic diseases . . . The list goes on, for generations. It is psychopathic. An individual can receive a prestigious award one day, but what happens when they go home? You will see and hear about it on the evening news. For a large number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the arts are one of the few aspects of their culture that are valued. Art is one of the most valued commodities outside our own familial and custodial circles. The only thing more desired is the land and its resources. It works well in a lot of ways because, for custodians, creating is something we always do and must do. We are cultural beings, and we create. It has the capacity to put food on the table and a roof over your head if you are smart about it.

When Christabel Blackman was sifting through her mother’s old documents she found a fragile old folder, tied with a ribbon. This held letters from a love long past between Christabel’s parents. It was a decade of art and love between Charles and Barbara Blackman.
Set against the burgeoning cultural art scene of 1950s Melbourne, among the soon-to-become legendary artists of the Heide group, Christabel reveals her parents’ unswerving devotion and blazing creativity. With over 160 artworks from Charles Blackman, this is a beautiful and intimate portrait of two people, their art and a world they changed forever.
06 Art of envelopes, letters from in Normanby, 1950 Mum was an only child, but not a lonely child. She adapted her small world, turning it into a fertile place where her imagination created friends with inanimate dolls or elderly acquaintances. It meant that she could easily forge great friendships, became an attentive listener and learnt an ability to spritely and adeptly jump on any wisp of opportunity. She could recognise a kindred soul immediately, bypassing exterior facades and working out the quickest way to people’s hearts. A cheeky wit helped her gain and lose friends easily and permanently. When Barbara was a young teenager she was incorrectly diagnosed with sexually transmitted disease and treated with arsenic. She recalled A train pulled up but they didn’t move. On reflection, she saw it was a feeble attempt at dual suicide in an era when it was inconceivable that doctors, priests, lawyers or bank managers could be wrong. The incident was never discussed. Silence was the then form of therapy. Barbara’s gradual yet definite sight loss was confirmed when she was diagnosed with industrial blindness due to optic atrophy while completing school. She felt like she had received what she called ‘an inescapable life sentence of punishment’ for a crime she had never committed, yet she was determined to turn the prognosis around in her favour. She kept detailed journals in lined notepads in her late teens and early twenties, and on 28 March 1948 she wrote about pity: Pity is a vicious, tragic thing. It wastes the emotions of the giver: it hurts the receiver. Because it comes from dishonesty and misunderstanding. Cease to pity the deformed and he is ludicrous. The cripple lurching along the street, the stutterer fumbling his words, me tripping and groping, the deaf with the same intent expression whether you tell him of love or death = are funny, immensely, gloriously funny – once you stop wrapping up your own smug self satisfaction in bitterness and cynicism to pass on as pity. Pity impregnates fear and perfect fear casteth out love Her diaries are full of discoveries of people, ideas, books, poetry, even politics. She describes meticulously the nature of her relationships with others and what she wore to every outing. All the usual ball preparations – hot bath, nail lacquer, arm shave, silver shoes and rustling taffeta slip: the rituals of soft shiny hair and gardenia perfume, make up and red rose buds pulling my necklace off the shoulder. wore black velvet coat, lace mittens and bag Barbara was studying at university in Queensland, doing an honours degree in child psychology. Confined to a world turned inside out by herunfortuitous circumstances, she yearned to seek out others who were also living on the edge, dangling their feet into the intangible realms of the unknown, unexplored or unexpressed. She eagerly joined a circle of ‘Pity impregnates fear and perfect fear casteth out love . . . We must beware of pity.’ Opposite clockwise from Grove Road, Normanby, Brisbane, c.1947 23 22

For the fashion designers whose homes are featured in this book, being creative is a need – an all-consuming desire that has no bounds. It doesn’t stop when they leave the studio but follows them home and stays with them always, like a loyal and constant companion. For them, fashion is more than clothing, jewellery or hats; they are a form of communication, a way of making sense of the world and their place in it.
Over twenty homes in six different countries are featured in these pages. They represent thirteen different architectural styles and span over five hundred years of architecture, from a 14th-century Italian palace to a 21st-century renovation in the English countryside. Sizes also vary, from one-bedroom flats and compact country cottages to mansions, villas and palazzos. As we turn the pages of this book, we step into the worlds of these storytellers, each page a window into the soul of a creator and each design philosophy a testament to the captivating force of a creative life.
17 Interiors Laudomia Pucci PALAZZO PUCCI, IN FLORENCE & VILLA IN TUSCANY, ITALY Born in the heart of Florence in 1961, Laudomia Pucci was raised, like many thousands of Florentines before her, living above her father’s workshop. “Here in Italy, the casa and bottega, the living and working environments, are all in the same place,” she says. What made her experience different from the offspring of most Italian artisans, however, was that the workspace and home were located inside Palazzo Pucci, which her aristocratic ancestors built in the Renaissance and her father, Emilio Pucci, the Marquis of Barsento was one of the most famous fashion designers of the 20th century and one of the founders of the Made in Italy movement.

The Flower Room
Botantical inspired interiors
Charlotte Coote
An ode to bringing nature indoors with botanical fabrics
Nature never fails to inspire, inform and influence our homes, to create a sense of joy and harmony. Raw, natural materials like stone, wood, linen and jute creates a grounded feeling. Expansive windows give unobstructed views of the natural world. And then there are the textiles that tie everything together and bring interiors to life – the fabulous designs inspired by flora, fauna and botanicals. The Flower Room explores past examples of how nature has inspired some of the most iconic interiors and explores the current world of design and interiors that reflect the natural world. This is a showcase in how to create beautiful nature-inspired spaces of your own.

Landscape designer Paul Bangay has an extraordinary ability to envisage gardens of scale and create gardens that look so well-suited to the landscape they feel as though they’ve been there forever. His large-scale gardens are places to explore; a garden that cannot be seen in one glance entices people outside with a sense of wonder.
These gardens emerge from the countryside using borrowed landscapes or dramatic views as the starting point. Within each design, Paul creates spaces that each bring a different experience of the garden. A sweeping lawn with a dramatic herbaceous border might flower all year round. Outdoor dining areas create intimacy within the broader scale. A whole wall covered in jasmine brings the most exquisite scent on summer nights. A mass planting of salvia offers clouds of purple. An allée of trees directs the eye to a point in the distance.
From grand gardens in France to a forest grown from scratch, join Paul on a tour of his distinctive style in these projects complete with lakes, mountains and walled gardens. For each project, Paul shares the design process, as well as garden plans and detailed planting lists.
With Simon Griffiths’ stunning photography from gardens from around the world, Big Garden Design documents the design process from the most precise detail to the grandest vista.

Plants Alexander Okenyo's woodland garden is poem. It has light and shade, structure, density, intelligence, romance and imagery. But before we get to his garden, we would like to add that as well as being a poet and a gardener, Alexander also sings in a choir, is an artist, plays the piano, owns a much-loved bookshop-cafe and lives in book-lined cottage filled with art, music and his gorgeous daughters, Ada and Ivy, and wife, Sarah (a writer and film-maker whom he describes as ‘really quite perfect’). He smiles all the time and says things like, ‘I cloud-pruned the oak tree so it can catch the snow.’ Coralie Park is an 87-acre property on one side of Mt Lloyd, 630 metres above sea level. Alexander discovered using his strategy of driving an hour from Hobart in all directions, knowing that he wanted to find somewhere to live that was out of the city. On this north-facing mountainside above the Derwent Valley he found four-room cottage, some bushland, neglected paddocks and (he knew it instantly) home. ‘There was no garden at all,’ Alexander tells us when we find him out by his woodpile, which not a woodpile at all but a work of art. ‘Everything growing here now came from handful of seeds and lot of dreaming.’ All the trees and plants are propagated from seeds or cuttings Alexander collects himself. There one oak tree grown from an acorn given to him by a friend in England, otherwise everything has been gathered from somewhere in Tasmania and grown from almost nothing. He remembers the parents of all his trees; the silver birches outside his New Norfolk bookshop, for instance, came from tiny seeds dropped by trees outside the Supreme Court in Hobart. Or perhaps this garden is an ode, ‘To Coralie’, because Alexander credits his love for gardening to his late grandmother, Coralie, for whom this place named. As young boy he would roam her 3-acre garden in the Adelaide Hills, lingering in the parts not meant to be seen – the cobwebby potting shed, the woodpiles, the storied bits that reveal the hard work and past that might be ‘in decadent decline’. He remains heavily influenced by the gardens of the Adelaide Hills, where large trees are a main feature. ‘A garden thing to look up to,’ Alexander says. ‘It’s important to fill the sky, to keep the light dappled. All the best gardens owe their beauty to the light.’ The light in Coralie Park not only beautiful, but it has also created its own microclimate. Red oaks, pin oaks, chestnuts, maples, smoke bush and liquidambars are given chance to survive hot summers as saplings under the faster-growing birches, poplars and sycamores. The taller trees sacrifice their upper branches to the possums, protecting the understorey plants. We stand beneath them in high autumn, when the light low and golden and the air feels cool but tempered by remnant warmth. We can see that to Alexander, these trees are companions, friends, family. They are refuge and shelter. As matter of course, Alexander will walk up to trunk and place his hands on it. But he doesn’t pamper his trees, preferring to give them the gift of longevity by not over-watering so they teach themselves resilience.

27 Lifestyle L’APERITIVO L’APERITIVO BEFORE THE MEAL 92 Sperlonga is a pretty clifftop town on Lazio’s southern coast approaching the border with Campania. Its unique elevated position on the Ulysses Riviera means that it has glorious views towards Monte Circeo in the north and Gaeta in the south. I once stopped there at Bar Il Trani, where I had a pasta dish that contained aubergine but no tomato, its usual stablemate. Instead, the dish featured one of Lazio’s best-known exports –pecorino romano – as well as the Latina coast’s most covetable produce, Gaeta olives. The dish stayed with me, and this is my interpretation of how they might have made it. It is not ‘officially’ the pasta of Sperlonga, but I have named it so as that is where I ate it. The original was served with paccheri – large, smooth tubes of pasta from Naples. I find them a little unwieldy so have replaced them with pasta calamarata, which are also from Naples. It’s really important with this recipe to get proper olives and not the plain pitted ones in tins. PREPARATION – 10 minutes COOKING – 35 minutes Remove and discard the top of the aubergine and trim about 5 mm (1/4 inch) from the bottom. Slice into 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick discs and cut into quarters leaving triangular wedges. In a large frying pan with a tight-fitting lid, toast the flaked almonds over a medium heat for about 3 minutes, tossing often so that they get a little colour and begin to smell nutty but don’t burn. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Heat 50 ml (13/4 fl oz) of olive oil, the garlic clove and a pinch of salt in the frying pan over a low heat for 2–3 minutes until the garlic gently sizzles and infuses the olive oil. Turn the garlic clove over and add the aubergine, along with a generous pinch of salt and a grind of pepper, tossing well to make sure the aubergine soaks up a bit of oil. Increase the heat to medium–high and leave to cook and get a little colour for 10 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure the aubergine cooks evenly. Fish out and discard the garlic clove. Add the olives, wine, remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt, then cover and cook for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta, give it a good stir so that it doesn’t stick together, and cook until al dente (check the packet instructions). Halfway through the cooking time add a ladleful of the starchy pasta water to the aubergine, then leave to bubble away uncovered. Drain the pasta, reserving a mug of the cooking water in case it’s needed to loosen the sauce. Toss the pasta through the aubergine sauce with an extra glug of olive oil. Toss through the finely grated pecorino, along with 2–3 tablespoons of the pasta water to help it amalgamate with the sauce. Add the almond flakes, half the lemon zest, and a little more salt and pepper. Spoon into bowls and finish with coarsely grated pecorino and the remaining lemon zest. Pasta calamarata ‘alla Sperlonga’ CALAMARATA PASTA WITH AUBERGINE, OLIVES, PECORINO ROMANO AND ALMONDS SERVES 6 1 large aubergine (about 600 g/1 lb 5 oz) 100 g (31/2 oz) flaked almonds 75 ml (21/2 fl oz) olive oil, plus extra to serve 1 garlic clove, unpeeled, lightly squashed with the edge of a knife sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 80 g (23/4 oz) Gaeta or Kalamata olives, cut in half lengthways and pitted 150 ml (5 fl oz) white wine (anything you have knocking around in the fridge will do) 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) pasta calamarata (paccheri or rigatoni are also fine) 120 g (41/2 oz) pecorino romano, finely grated, plus extra, coarsely grated, to serve grated zest of lemon LAZIO

From the bestselling author Bruce Pascoe comes a deeply personal story about the consequences and responsibility of disrupting Australia’s history.
When Dark Emu was adopted by Australia like a new anthem, Bruce found himself at the centre of a national debate that often focussed on the wrong part of the story. But through all the noise came Black Duck Foods, a blueprint for traditional food growing and land management processes based on very old practices.
Bruce Pascoe and Lyn Harwood invite us to imagine a different future for Australia, one where we can honour our relationship with nature and improve agriculture and forestry. Where we can develop a uniquely Australian cuisine that will reduce carbon emissions, preserve scarce water resources and rebuild our soil. It’s not Black Duck magic, it’s the result of simply treating Australia like herself.
From the aftermath of devastating bushfires and the impact of an elder’s death to rebuilding a marriage and counting the personal cost of starting a movement, Black Duck is a remarkable glimpse into a year of finding strength in Country at Yumburra.
‘Bruce’s connection to place, land and Country is at the core of his remarkable resilience. He gets right into the belly of the land and storytelling, a medicine this country needs.’

The health of Australia’s First Peoples is grounded within the sacred lands of Mother Earth. For thousands of generations Country and culture have sustained communities, but in recent times this connection has become damaged. Medicine explores the vision and knowledges with which Aboriginal people are re-shaping considerations of health and wellbeing today.
This book offers concepts that are not tied to Western practices. It delves into Indigenous birthing, endof-life care and other cultural rituals; highlights the critical role of Aboriginal leadership and Eldership in decision making about health care; and explores the strength and longevity of Aboriginal resistance and resilience. Through storytelling, research and health practice, the authors show how Aboriginal knowledges foster a path for self-determined healthy futures.

33 First Knowledges Chapter 3: Tools for living on Country The many different types of boomerangs Boomerangs are as many and varied as the cultural groups that use them. For the Lardil people of Mornington Island, they are basically divided into three categories: the heavy throwing, clubbing and fighting boomerang (juluwarr) that is also good at bringing an animal down from a distance, the high-flying comeback boomerang for sky hunting (thaankur wangal) and the hooked boomerang (mungkuburr) that is the deadliest fighting tool of them all. A common design of a fighting boomerang is for one side to be flat and the other side more gently curved. An interesting fact about this is that one side is then more comfortably thrown by a right-handed thrower and the other by a left-handed thrower. The Alyawarr people of Central Australia even have a Dreaming about the mighty power of left-handed throwers. It tells the story of the capture of the flying fox, Pitungu, after he stole two young women and ran off with them, wrapping their hair in his woomera and hurling them a long distance in place of a spear. But the boomerang that saved them, and stopped Pitungu in his tracks, came from a left-handed thrower, who is now celebrated for all time. Boomerangs have many stories and many uses, and not just the obvious ones. You can use them as a tool to rake the coals of a fire, and (with two of them clapped together) they also make a musical percussion instrument. But if they are not made from best quality hardwood, they will soon crack and break. They also don’t sound as good. If an Aboriginal person was going to dance and play music with them, they knew to use the larger, heavier, fighting ones, not lightweight ones! 50 51 Chapter 3: Tools for living on Country Aboriginal people have adapted to live in a very flexible and mobile way, depending on their type of Country. Desert people were more likely to travel further within their territories to find food, water and materials for their tools and equipment. People living in the tropical North, where there is high rainfall and more vegetation were more likely to set up a semi-permanent camp and stick to a smaller area. People visited certain parts of their Country at particular times of year when food was plentiful and responsibility for ceremonies and group gettogethers took them there. These get-togethers were also a time to trade tools and artefacts, share stories and cultural knowledge, including the best ways of making and doing things.

Join the Tiny Gardeners as they grow fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs for the upcoming Summer Market. Everything is almost ready to pick, but it’s a hot, humid day and the garden is looking dry and thirsty ... just a moment ... can you hear that?
Continuing the Tiny Professions series, Kat Macleod’s newest picture book, The Tiny Gardeners, navigates the process of preparing, growing and harvesting a productive garden through the five senses: sight, taste, touch, smell and sound.
35 Children’s Shiny, round tomatoes. Long, bumpy beans. Bright pink radishes. It’s nearly time to harvest on this hot and humid day ... The vegetables are thirsty! Wow! What can you see? Out in the vegetable plot, preparation begins. Turning the soil ... In time, the vegetables will grow. Lining up stakes for plants to climb. Pressing seeds gently into the earth ...

Come on an illustrated expedition across the sky to discover why clouds have always fascinated us.
Enjoy blazing sunsets, raging storms, bright blue skies and inky nights while learning the different types of clouds and what kind of weather you can expect from each variation.
It’s time to see the skies with new eyes.

Cirrocumulus stratiformis A big crumpled sheet of paper, fish scales, a flock of sheep: the species cirrocumulus stratiformis conjures up all sorts of familiar images. But unlike a flock of sheep on land, these sheep in the sky appear and disappear without sound. We can’t even hear the whistle of the high-altitude winds that break them apart, bringing the threat of possible storms. White sheep, white sheep, When the wind stops You all stand still. When the wind blows White sheep, white sheep, Where do you go? What are clouds? What are clouds? When you think of a cloud, what comes to mind? A soft puff of whipped cream or bulky, looming mass? Perhaps you think of wings tipped with gold, or warm band of orange. There is nothing in the world more changeable than clouds. Their shapes, colours and sizes are always shifting, creating endless new displays right above our heads. That’s why we’re tempted to imagine all sorts of shapes in the clouds and think up stories to go with them. But clouds sometimes keep their stories wellhidden: in Greek mythology, the gods lived on Mount Olympus, whose peak was always invisible to humans because it was hidden by mysterious clouds. Artists have always been fascinated by clouds: the sky has inspired the creation of countless paintings, poems and photographs. But scientists have also turned their eyes to the skies: meteorologists (weather specialists) have studied, identified and classified clouds in order to understand where they come from and how they develop. This helps them to predict rain, thunderstorms – or sunny days. But what exactly is cloud? A cloud is formed from huge number of tiny water drops floating in the air. Depending on the temperature – the higher it is, the colder – these droplets can be liquid or frozen. A Dutch photographer, Berndnaut Smilde, has built a special smoke machine that can create little indoor clouds: his photographs show puffs of cloud floating in museums, old warehouses and empty houses. The effect is startling! Even Giotto, famous fourteenth century Italian painter, must have enjoyed imagining shapes and objects when he looked up at the clouds: he painted the face of mysterious man in billowing cloud on the wall of an important church in Assisi.
