Gabrielle Jones once had her well-educated chiropractor announce that he needed something for the walls of his practice rooms and was therefore arranging a picnic for his staff, where ‘with the right amount of alcohol and materials’, they would produce paintings for those walls. Well aware that Gabrielle was an abstract artist, he later advised her that it was ‘harder than you think’, and those walls remained bare.
An explosion of creative expression and gestural force, Australian Abstract explores the constantly evolving genre and how it offers unparalleled artistic freedom, inviting deeply personal connection and interpretation from both artist and viewer. Drawing on extensive interviews, Amber Creswell Bell examines the diverse practices of more than forty contemporary abstract painters, documenting a repertoire of styles, subjects, visions and philosophies. What unites these extraordinary artists, however, is the conviction that this form of expression chose them.
the holy grail, to me. That’s what gets me into the studio.’ In this way, the work of Irish–American artist Sean Scully provided revelation in the power of abstraction when Gabrielle saw his retrospective at the National Gallery of Australia. ‘It literally hit me physically,’ she recalls. ‘It made me realise that abstraction not just mind thing; it also attacks the other senses. The smell of oil paint, the scale of images, the texture and their associations have physical impact which may not be able to be put into words.’ Gabrielle’s process is to start with mark-making without an agenda or outcome in mind, and she finds that sometime later her mind wanders and whatever she has been contemplating surfaces, and then the painting takes control. ‘Basically, start with mark-making as way into my subconscious, kidding myself that I’m not making painting, just playing or experimenting. Pretty soon I’m working in spatial terms and assessing abstract elements and then, about halfway through the process, the picture starts asserting itself and become more aware of what it’s about,’ she explains. ‘My best paintings have me almost taking orders. It’s so exciting. just have to keep up with the commands. can see the next few steps before I’ve made them, and just have to hang in there, do what I’m told and not lose energy or focus or connection.’ Recently inspired to use collage in her work, Gabrielle uses the technique to increase texture and the sensuous experiences she so lacked during lockdown, and to mimic the sense of isolation and disjuncture experienced during the pandemic. These works are alternately moody or optimistic, mimicking the ups and downs of enforced lockdown. She also occasionally

‘When even intelligent, educated people in cultured society can have that attitude and lack of respect it’s sometimes very hard to take,’ she laments. ‘I’ve given up explaining and just retreat to the studio to heal.’ Gabrielle initially studied arts/law at Sydney University and began working with lawyers in a New South Wales statutory body in her third year, swiftly realising that she was unsuited to that life. Upon graduating in arts with law major, Gabrielle began studying fine arts at TAFE, followed by courses at Julian Ashton Art School, which she absolutely loved. Ultimately was workshop series through the Art Gallery of NSW with Wendy Sharpe, Adam Cullen, Lewis Miller and Garry Shead, that made her decide she didn’t want to do anything else and impelled her to enrol in the National Art School (NAS) in Sydney. At NAS, experimentation was encouraged and the attitude towards abstraction was positive. Gabrielle considers herself fortunate to have been taught by some of the best abstract painters in Australia, such as John Peart, Aida Tomescu, Steven Harvey and Suzanne Archer. She graduated with full body of figurative work, called ‘Flesh and Cloth’, where she explored Baroque depictions of women and clothing, along with an entirely abstract body of work in which she had explored pure abstraction, pushing space, edges, colour and listening to the picture. ‘It took me another 15 years to somehow marry these two obsessions together, side-tracking through path of mostly landscape and still life,’ Gabrielle reflects. think wanted to have all the skills could muster as painter, so explored many genres while painting my way through history, style-wise.’ Gabrielle’s work influenced by art from the 17th to 18th centuries, which speaks of power, class and abundance, and marks the beginning of imperialism and globalism, coinciding with the discovery by Europeans of the landmass that became known as Australia. Gabrielle feels that there are parallels to our contemporary age. Her paintings can be described as rhythmic, expressive, full of movement and sometimes ethereal. ‘My work dominated by fluid, gestural lines and writhing forms, which can refer to excess, turbulence, decay or ecstasy,’ she describes. ‘These loop and travel across smaller, intuitive marks or patterns, interweaving foreground and background in bid for more space and in dance of risk and control.’ She uses translucent paint to give life to the history of decisions taken in the making of the work and strives to evince the deep

Gabrielle eventually came to recognise that wasn’t the subject she enjoyed most but the medium, and what paint, ink, watercolour and charcoal could achieve, as well as their illusionary, emotive, communicative abilities. ‘It was the adventure and process of art-making; the changing of perception; the accidental; the risk and control that loved, along with an ability to elicit reaction or feeling of an elevated mental or physical state,’ she says. ‘To be able to evoke responses, capture that energy without an easily identifiable object or scene and to evoke a sense of déjà vu or understanding – that’s

Rembrandt’s Table 2018 Oil on canvas, 122 122 cm 162 Opposite: The River 2022 Oil, gesso, marble dust on aluminium composite panel, 81 cm (framed) Belem Lett For Belem Lett there is no clear line that separates figurative and abstract painting. He sees it as more of a ‘sliding spectrum’ of approaches; figurative painting still utilises the same processes as abstract painting. Whether it be composition, colour, light or texture, the inevitable process involves the substrate, predominantly flat surface with a mixture of pigment and binder applied generally with a brush. Belem believes that the illusionistic nature of realist painting belies the processes involved in making an artwork. These technical and formal concerns are present alongside desire to depict something tangible within the world in representational painting. The tangibility of the subject, however, can be abstracted. Furthering this perspective, Belem conveys that the opposite may be true within more pure, formal, gestural or hard-edge approaches to abstraction. ‘Even the depiction of square of colour, while being both reductive and formal, may also be considered representational, in that it depicts square of colour which something that exists in the world,’ he considers. ‘The intrigue, for me, happens at the point which what depicted within an abstract work is something less tangible or intangible completely. Abstraction can allow the viewer’s mind to wander away from their own concrete conception of reality.’ In creating an abstract work, Belem suggests that artists are departing the physical world in order to return to with something new, referential or unseen. In the contemplation of gesture, of colour relationships and of forms which are not present within our day-to-day lives the painting can act as portal for abstract thinking and space for non-linguistic mental travel. Belem considers this as something that happens during making work as well. ‘At certain point while painting, the concrete world slips away and the only thing that exists is the movement, composition and the effect one colour has upon another,’ he offers. ‘Some colours sit quietly together, while others vibrate in unison or pose questions to each other. The painting functions simultaneously as physical object in the real world, while also depicting an intangible internal reality made visible. In this way, the artwork becomes portal for abstract thought.’ Graduating with Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) in 2008 and Master of Fine Art (2012) from the College of Fine Arts, UNSW Sydney, Belem had a range of teachers who were supportive of the pursuit and development of contemporary artistic practice across genres. He did not feel like there was particular push into figurative or abstract art, more so development of what was necessary within work to articulate an idea and how to approach the aesthetic considerations within the work. Belem sees his own work as generally referencing the history of gestural abstraction with an emphasis on an intuitive painting process and strong focus on exploring colour relationships. He is concerned with the application and surface of the painting and

Every day he’d ask for new colour the brighter the better. As an emerging Yankunytjatjara artist, he was nurtured by the artists surrounding him the art centre, particular the stalwart founding artist and director Alec Baker. This eventually led to Yaltangki having the confidence start his own paintings on canvas. In an interview, the artist’s youngest sister Edith says: ‘Alec still laughs and cheers when Tiger shows off his latest painting.’ Expression comes many different forms and, through brushwork luminously coloured paint, Yaltangki channels his favourite classic rock music. Edith recalls when they were kids: ‘Tiger had cassette player and he loved to listen to music Creedence Clearwater Revival was his favourite. And he loved singing songs, singing along Creedence and also AC/DC. These are still his favourites, and what he mostly listens to in the art centre while he’s painting Sometimes he’ll dance sing along and that always makes everyone smile. Anytime someone goes Alice Springs Adelaide, Tiger asks them to bring back ‘cassette tjuta’ (plenty of cassettes) for him. ‘At home, he listens to Christian hymns (in Pitjantjatjara). He knows the words and sings along he has lovely singing voice. Even though Tiger doesn’t speak lot, he has always really enjoyed singing.’ 103 Kaylene Whiskey the Iwantja Arts studio Seven Sisters Song 2021, water-based enamel paint on steel road sign, 120 180 cm BY CLOTHILDE BULLEN

Vincent Namatjira
By Vincent Namatjira and edited by Lisa Slade, Gloria Strzelecki and Nici Cumpston
Reframing Australian history through the eyes of prolific Indigenous artist Vincent Namatjira.
This is the first major monograph on acclaimed Western Aranda artist Vincent Namatjira. Renowned for producing paintings laden with dry wit, Namatjira has established himself in the past decade as a celebrated portraitist and a satirical chronicler of Australian identity. His paintings offer a wry look at the politics of history, power and leadership from a contemporary Aboriginal perspective. Namatjira often positions himself in this history – out of place and out of time – and in doing so he helps us to reconcile our complex and traumatic pasts. With essays by Ben Quilty, Tony Albert and Bruce Johnson McLean.

The kind of scale and form Paul noticed on this trip heavily influenced his style. Paul Bangay: A life in garden design is an illustrated memoir exploring the creative evolution and processes of one of Australia’s finest design minds.
This is a visual delight, ranging from photos of childhood gardens and goats to hand-drawn garden plans from Paul’s earliest designs. There are travel photos that reveal the inspiration behind paving, gates and courtyards; plants growing in arduous conditions; water features, urns and oxidized copper pots. There are letters from David Hicks and King Charles. For the first time, we get the back story behind Paul’s splendid vision –and see the creative workings that come to fruition in gorgeously photographed gardens.

Easy nature prescriptions to heal and repair
The relationship between nature and humans long engrained. Before we had infrastructure and technology, we lived immersed in the natural world. Our shelter, our sustenance and our livelihoods all depended on learning techniques to survive in nature. We learnt how to harvest from nature – to tame so that benefited us. The practices we developed were part survival and part progress, for ourselves and the natural environment. We understood that without nature, we wouldn’t survive. Our ancestors had deep respect for nature. Many traditional practices acknowledge that rather than taking everything we can see, we must also leave some behind. Reciprocity practice that allows us to benefit from nature by not only helping to regenerate but to flourish. In our modern world, we now have survival covered and so we have the opportunity to turn our attention to nature for recreation and pleasure. Practices that may have been waste of energy for our earliest humans are now source of our wellbeing and part of our daily lives. Human evolution has seen our basic needs expand beyond food, water and shelter. Psychologists and social scientists now recognise that we also need sense of purpose, significance and variety in our life to feel fulfilled: climbing mountain, riding wave, eating for flavour. To practice is to do something repeatedly. And to repeatedly return to and care for nature can be practice itself. How she uses cold water therapy enhance overall health Cold-water

89 The Oscars audience had grown to over billion viewers who arguably saw the most eclectic red carpet yet. The accessory of the year was the plus one, as loved-up talent delivered double the star power. With studio costume designers long gone and celebrity stylists yet to make their mark many actresses were left to choose their own ensembles, with extremes ranging from exhibitionism to new elegance. Life followed art as Dangerous Liaisons period drama based in 18th-century France, inspired an exaggerated opulence. Swathes of silk moire, brocade, plush velvet and elaborate lace inserts festooned gowns with revealing decolletage, dropped sleeves and busy bustles. However, the film’s star, nominee Glenn Close, requested designer Geoffrey Beene create gown in line with her own pared-back style. Beene constructed modern approach in what he called the ‘Dangerous’ dress of black lace and chiffon over matte jersey. Best Supporting Actress winner Geena Davis collaborated with Bill Harding Costume Design on a gown of her own design. The pale blue velvet of the draped dress and its sheer bustle saluted 18th-century France while its shape echoed the screen sirens of the 1940s. It proved to be the winning colour as Best Actress winner Jodie Foster also chose the hue, wearing ruched taffeta mini dress with bustle bow she bought off-therack while on holiday in Rome. A rash of romantic comedies targeted at teenage audience introduced new batch of talented young stars nicknamed the Brat Pack. They sauntered in, adding their own twist to the tuxedo or toying with the grown-up sophistication of the little black dress (LBD). A key Brat Packer, Demi Moore, was caught between the old and the new in her own design. The black and gold brocade-lined overskirt echoed the 18th century influence, the boned cut velvet taffeta top was shaped for history in fabric that was staple of the 1980s, and the lace-trimmed lycra shorts tapped into the beginnings of underwear as outerwear. With so much going on it proved too much for the press at the time. In contrast to the LBD, newcomer Martha Plimpton lit up the red carpet in vintage bias-cut ivory dress that would become red-carpet favourite. Double nominee Sigourney Weaver chose an Yves Saint Laurent white crepe gown garnished with gilded shell belt that conjured notions of Botticelli goddess. Melanie Griffith wore white meringue dress by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, designers of Princess Diana’s wedding dress. She attended with ex-husband Don Johnson, whom she was soon to remarry; however, her gown could not be saved for the nuptials as Griffith was pregnant with daughter Dakota. Not to be outdone by the new guard, the established set had trick or two up their sleeves thanks to Italian designer Giorgio Armani, who had recently opened flagship boutique in Beverly Hills. Armani hired well-connected local Wanda McDaniel as ‘point person’ to dress the A-list, a job previously unheard of. The Armani club included Meryl Streep, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jane Fonda and Candice Bergen. The refined elegance of his perfectly pitched outfits far outshone the fussy ball gowns and quirky amateur designs hustling for space on the red carpet, resulting in shift that yet again redefined glamour, and sending a stampede of stars to Armani’s door for their next red-carpet moment.

America was reeling from the devastation of 9/11, and anticipation that the winds of change could sweep into the Awards was palpable. Could this be the benchmark year to acknowledge African American actors and demonstrate some parity towards praiseworthy members of the Black acting community? Sidney Poitier, who had won the Oscar for Best Actor almost forty years earlier, was to receive special achievement award; Denzel Washington, Best Supporting Actor winner in 1990, and Will Smith were up for Best Actor; and Halle Berry had been nominated for Best Actress. For Berry being the first Black woman to take out the Best Actress win would signify much more than recognition by her industry; it would mean she was part of a historic shift that broke through the race barrier to allow all actors to be considered equally. In recent years Berry had been fixture on the red carpet, wearing figure-hugging gowns in saccharine shades. For this moment, Berry claimed the spotlight in a one-of-a-kind rich burgundy gown by little known Elie Saab, propelling the Beirut-based designer’s profile into global consciousness. The gown featured strategically placed beaded embroidery woven over a sheer net top, with dangerously dipped waist anchored by straight silk taffeta skirt and billowing train. Berry described the unique gown as ‘classic, couture, modern and sexy’. The sheer top allowed her burnished skin to shine through in year that was so poignant for its recognition of Black talent. Subliminally the embellishment’s nod to nature combined with the illusion of nudity recalled the Garden of Eden and the woman’s role in the creationist narrative. On winning, an overwhelmed Berry dedicated her Oscar to ‘every nameless, faceless woman of colour that now has chance’ and left an unforgettable mark on both Oscars history and Oscars fashion. Other gowns oscillated between eclectic black dresses or soft palette of pale pinks and beige, with the penchant for sheer fabrics common denominator between the two. The suggestive nature of sheer souffle, tulle, chiffon or lace suggested both provocation in its transparency and vulnerability in its delicate nature, balancing sex appeal and propriety, vixen and the virtuous. Cameron Diaz bucked the red-carpet trend in an insouciant floral Emanuel Ungaro Couture gown and Fred Leighton necklace worn as belt. She described it as akin to ‘putting on my pajamas … 100% me’. An early adopter of the latest wave of boho chic, her look was in line with her easy-going beach girl persona, supporting the theory that gowns that provide an insight into an actress’s personality are always popular with the public.

98 19 56 This year’s award ceremony was mixed bag, reflecting the different styles perpetuated by Hollywood to fit the narrative of post-war America. The feisty, independent women of the arduous 1930s and 1940s had given way idyllic homemakers, who defined the 1950s and saw return to male-dominated gender roles. Corsages felt dated, white gloves were de rigueur for ladylike types and chiffon scarves were slung backwards over slender necks. So far, two main archetypes saw mass appeal. The sex symbol, inspired by Jean Harlow and led by Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, was identified as voluptuous figure wrapped tight in revealing outfits, often harnessed with troubled past and deemed in need of saving via marriage. Conversely the cheery girl-next-door, embodied by Debbie Reynolds or the youthful Natalie Wood, personified the nation’s ideal daughter happily destined for domestic life good housewife and mother. This sartorial style signified the growing prosperity of the middle class, with lavish ball gown shapes layered in frills, ruffles and reams of romantic fabrics propped up by heaving petticoats, reflecting the wholesome traditional values glorified in 1950s America. However, new archetype had been enchanting audiences in recent years: the Hollywood princess. Whether born into well-to-do family and destined to become real princess like Grace Kelly, child of war who defied the odds and became star like Audrey Hepburn, they epitomised aspirational desire and world where dreams come true. Tasked with presenting two of the most important awards of the show Kelly for Best Actress and Hepburn for Best Picture these ethereal women delicately dominated the red carpet, signifying moment where the ‘stars’ began to eclipse the Oscar winners. Sophisticated, demure and charismatic, both Kelly and Hepburn represented fresh yet refined elegance, bringing about radical shift trends and becoming enduring fashion icons. Grace Kelly’s polished beauty and ladylike style personified affluence and good taste, while Audrey Hepburn’s playful, unassuming style was exotic, yet one that women could readily emulate, broadening the definition of beauty without challenging the accepted image of the ideal woman. Both adopted an uncomplicated style that always featured something unique, adding character pristine surface; for example, the luxurious crossover neckline, harem hem and fine hand-painted petals adorning the delicate folds of Kelly’s organdie gown by MGM costume designer Helen Rose or the high-fashion detached train trailing like angel’s wings behind Hepburn’s Hubert de Givenchy dress. The luminescence of their white gowns, the modesty shape and simplicity their jewellery conveyed distinct message of innocence and grace, enhancing their beauty rather than competing with it. They both presented as fragile, precious beings and their charm as utterly mesmerising.

What Lisa Taddeo did for female desire, Kate Legge does for adultery.
Is unfaithfulness a predisposition or a learned behaviour? Legge contemplates this question as she strives to understand how we become who we are.
As a journalist, Kate Legge often seeks answers to how people reckon with bad luck or bad decisions. When faced with her husband’s affair, she discovered a fault line of betrayal running through four generations of his family, which began a search for answers both close to home and more universally.
To her own surprise, she finds strength and peace over revenge and hate, as well as joy in unexpected places.

What’s for Dinner?
Our food, our choices, our planet
By Jill Griffiths
The plants, animals and farmers that feed us and what our choices mean for them and the planet.
What are we really eating? What exactly do farmers do? Should the world go vegan? Do food miles matter?
Never before has so much food been produced by so few people to feed so many. Never before have Australian consumers been so disconnected from their food production, yet so interested in how it is done.
What’s for Dinner? delves into the way our food is grown and our responsibilities as eaters. Weaving together science, history and lived experience, What’s for Dinner? takes readers on a journey to meet the plants, animals and people who put the food on our plates. It’s a book for anyone who eats.
‘In this deeply personal and heartfelt book, Jill Griffiths has separated the romantic from the reality, the emotional from the political and (literally) the wheat from the chaff in her exploration of how what we eat ripples deep into our farmlands. Far from being didactic, this joyous delve into food and farming allows readers to explore what it means for our environment when we eat, and how very little is as straightforward as the headlines would have you believe.’

The
Memory of Trees
The future of eucalypts and our home among them
By Viki Cramer
A call to turn our attention to the trees and landscapes that surround and sustain us, so that together, we can ensure their future.
Eucalypts are an integral part of Australia’s landscape and culture, present in cities, coastal areas and the bush. However, the resilience of our eucalypt ecosystems is being tested by logging and land clearing, disease and drought, fire and climate change.
Viki Cramer takes us on a journey through forests and woodlands in the richest botanical corner of the continent to understand the past, present and future of our home among the gum trees.
‘This brilliant ecological history of south-west Western Australia is a testament to the area’s beauty and diversity, as well as a calling to account of the sustained failures in stewardship since white colonisation. The Memory of Trees celebrates the local while speaking to the global: the power of trees and community, and the urgent need to take responsibility for the landscapes that sustain us.’

Songlines of creation As well mapping Country, Songline stories also describe the creation of the land itself. Aboriginal stories, the land and the people were created the same time. Way back before time began, when this continent we now call Australia was just like big formless swamp, Aboriginal Creator Beings gave the shape and geographical features you see today. They created the animals, and then the people. Then the Creator Beings gave the land its form. These stories can be graphic and violent, with events leaving their mark on the landscape well as the people. For instance, landslide of red rocks tells bloody battle between two rival groups of people. gash in rock face formed when the Seven Sisters were being chased by the shape shifter Wati Nyiru. Or huge rock at the opening cave might represent feared ancestor who created the cave and stands there forever to protect it. Modern travels These days, everyone on the move keep up family and kinship connections. And just like the rest the world, many Aboriginal people prefer to drive rather than walk. Today, Toyota truck is the vehicle choice. Wheels might have changed the footprints, but the principle remains the same. Using native spinifex desert grass, wool, raffia, wire and string, group artists called the Tjampi The Rainbow Serpent well-known creation story even nonAboriginal people is that the Rainbow Serpent. describes how giant snake, while searching for his people, cut great, long gouges into the dry, flat land with his body.

familiar stars the night sky as they move around the Milky Way. All the constellations we know and love will eventually dissolve. just goes show that nothing in this universe lasts forever. Top facts about the view from Earth The stars visible from above the equator are different from those seen below the equator because the Earth round. The Earth not perfect sphere and the technical name for its shape an oblate spheroid. The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west because our planet constantly spinning to make one full revolution each day. The Earth has seasons because its axis is wonky, different parts our planet point towards the Sun throughout the year. The solar system circles the Milky Way every 230 million years, known as galactic year. 2 LET’S get STARGAZING Constellations People have studied the night sky for many thousands years, trying make sense of what they see. saw figures the shapes made by the brightest stars and told stories to describe how they interacted with our world. These constellations are important because they connect us to our past. They are also very practical as markers the sky that tell those living traditional lifestyles when to plant, gather and harvest food, and help people navigate long distances. Each cultural group has its own names for constellations, ranging from the Black Tortoise China to the Giraffe of southern Africa. Some nations see constellations not the stars but in the dark spaces between them. Famous dark constellations include the Emu in the Sky, important to many First Nations people Australia, and the Llama, Frog and Snake of the ancient Incan culture in South America. There are many star stories and traditions that you could spend lifetime investigating them all. 1 2 3 4 5 Fun Fact The stars that make up constellations are not really ‘groups’ of stars, nor are they clustered together by gravity. They may look like they are close to one another in the sky from our vantage point on the Earth, but many them are trillions of kilometres apart. How to start stargazing First, choose safe and comfortable stargazing spot. It could be your garden, on your balcony or neighbourhood park. Take an adult with you they are good for company, can carry stuff, and you can teach them about astronomy too! Now turn off any outdoor lights and find the darkest spot you can. You can set up chair sun lounger to make the experience even more comfy. Don’t forget to wear suitable clothing, like warm clothes in winter and long sleeves to protect against mosquitoes summer. Thousands of stars are visible the naked eye, which means it’s easy get overwhelmed. So how do you learn what you’re looking at? How do you identify exciting things like planets, galaxies, comets and shooting stars? Well, the first thing you’re going to need star map. Star maps map the stars not the same as regular map. won’t show you the positions local towns or cities, coastlines or national boundaries. Instead, star map lays out the stars and constellations the night sky. you look very carefully, you will also find hidden gems like planets, galaxies, comets, satellites, and sparkling clusters made up thousands of stars we will meet those in Chapter When was finding my way around the night sky, there were no computers or The 88 so-called modern constellations are used by scientists around the world describe regions of the sky. Many of these star shapes are based on ancient Mesopotamian and Greek stories. However, they are no more ‘correct’ than any other culture-based shapes the stars, or even celestial characters that you choose invent yourself. Now that we’ve learned the basics, let’s get stargazing! Fun Fact Since the Earth constantly moving and spinning through space, our view the stars changes hour by hour and night by night. So don’t be surprised the stars appear ‘upside down’ ‘sideways’ compared with star map. And don’t worry, the stars stay the same place relative to over human lifetime, so with bit practice you can learn recognise the brightest stars, whichever way up they appear.
