Photographer note: What looked like a pleasant summer’s day ended up being a battle against heat. Well done to our models for casually wearing warm fleece-like clothing and big leather boots. —Theresa Marx

Writer’s note: One of the most pleasant parts of looking out over the rolling hills outside La Grange was to see a herd of white cows move closer and closer to the house as the day wore on. They started off at the edge of the forest and ended up just outside the back door by dinner time. —Johanna Agerman Ross

Writer’s note: It’s always an honour as a reporter when people trust you to tell their stories. There were so many shocking details that I couldn’t include because the behaviour from famous studios was so egregious it would have identified my sources. But you can’t libel the dead, so I can put Frank Lloyd Wright on blast for using his students at Taliesin West – who paid for the privilege – as free labour on his projects. Exploitation has been baked into the system for decades, but it’s not too late to redesign it. —India Block
Writer’s note: While the Pot Variations are painstaking pieces of kiln-cast glass art, the last thing J. Hill’s Standard founder Anike Tyrrell wants is for pieces like Hopstep to sit in a cupboard for most of the year. “I don’t believe in only pulling out the crystal on special occasions,” she says. “Use it; enjoy it; make it a part of your life, even if it’s putting your teeth in it at night.” —Lauren Yoshiko

ADVERTISERS
Writer’s note: I couldn’t believe that there’s no definite inventor of googly eyes. Learning that has added an air of mystery to their plastic gaze. I also learnt that the largest pair are 3.6m wide. If you could stick them anywhere in the world, where would you choose? —Sharon Lam

an organic farm cultivating locally found ingredients to a paper mill where artisans folded dyed scraps into sculpture that echoed the light, leaves and petals that framed my time in the town. —Rebecca Conway
