Working across several art mediums, but mostly known for his experimental techniques in printmaking and watercolour, Wolseley’s work crosses over a number of disciplines including the natural sciences and philosophy. Although he draws on empirical investigation frequently immersing himself in the Australian environment, his deeply moving and profoundly beautiful works are full of great passion and consummate skill. Land Marks III is a collaboration between artist and art historian, John Wolseley and Sasha Grishin, which has developed over more than twenty years. It builds on two earlier editions to advance a timely and well-informed assessment of an artist who has been increasingly seen amongst artists as the environmental conscience of our time.

In 2000, he decided to try his luck on the other side of the lense and went on to become a celebrated fashion photographer, before shifting his focus to a photographic art project ‘Celebrate Australia’.

I chose to photograph Australia’s wild horses as to me the brumby epitomises this feeling and through these images I can share both the beauty and the spirit of Australia with the world.’

The Forever House celebrates twenty-three such dwellings through the intimate stories of the families and architects who created them. These timeless homes have been captured as they are today by some of Australia’s best architectural photographers, and archival drawings offer insight into the original designs. Spanning forty years from the fifties to the eighties, this volume features the country’s most acclaimed architects – from Robin Boyd and Harry Seidler to Glenn Murcutt and Peter Stutchbury. Rather than the most seminal works, many of these buildings are the lesser-known gems – the modernist explorations, remote raw-timber cabins and postmodern rarities loved and often lived in for decades by the same families. They are houses that you would never want to leave – homes that transcend their era, bring endless delight to daily living and deftly respond to life’s chapters.
