Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Making Work in Overwhelming Times with Diana Weymar
Q: How do you decide what to share, and how do you handle criticism when the work is political?
I listen to what I need in the moment, consider the impact on viewers, and accept that I will disappoint some while supporting others; I aim for honesty and space, not certainty, and I emphasize the positive potential of community and shared empathy.
Making Work in Overwhelming Times with Diana Weymar
Q: Do you think what you've wanted the project to be has changed over the years?
Yes. It started with a more definite protest impulse, but over time it became a broader, community-driven practice that balances curated, slow sharing with openness to thousands of contributors and evolving content.
Building a Body of Work with Debbie Mackenzie
Q: Who are you and how would you describe what you do?
Debbie describes herself as a landscape painter based on the Mornington Peninsula, working full-time as a professional artist who earns a living from painting she loves.
What Matters (and What Doesn’t) for Artists in 2026 with Amber Creswell Bell
Q: Do you think it's important for artists, whether they're in a group or not, to be going elsewhere for critique and feedback?
Yes, it's important to seek objective feedback to avoid being in an echo chamber with their work and to assess where they fit in the art spectrum.
What Matters (and What Doesn’t) for Artists in 2026 with Amber Creswell Bell
Q: What are you telling artists that they should be doing when the market slows down?
They should not despair and remember that the market is cyclical; it's important to have a strategy and think about making smaller, more affordable works to accommodate current market conditions.
