Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Louise Haselton
Q: What has it been like to see the installation come together in the gallery space, given you planned presentation very early on?
The installation process emphasized the relationships between works, ensuring a quiet yet coordinated effect across pieces, with attention to surface, light, and the way rubbings and sculptures communicate as a cohesive whole.
Louise Haselton
Q: In approaching the materials, was there a sense that you were drawing on processes you already know produce a certain effect?
Yes, there was a deliberate alignment with past practices like casting and text, but applied in a new context to echo the language of memorials while exploring material resilience and tactility.
Louise Haselton
Q: Going back to, I guess, thinking about Jasmin coming and visiting you and doing a studio visit and introducing the project to you, how did Jasmin introduce this project?
Jasmin framed the project as a critical look at North Terrace, leveraging her familiarity with its colonial history and presenting artists with the chance to examine museums and monuments of power in that area.
Ryan Presley
Q: What was the process like for the John Hill portrait, and how did it differ from traditional portraits?
He sought an optimistic, contemporary take rather than a dark, Rembrandt-like approach, emphasizing a connection with the sitter and the institutional context while ensuring the work stands out.
Ryan Presley
Q: How did his background influence his method and the public reception of his Daydreamer works?
His background gave him a lens on power, memory, and violence, and the method combines traditional technique with subversive reinterpretations of classical imagery to reflect Australian contexts.
