Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 06/05/2025The joys of creating a wildlife friendly garden. After a few recent road deaths in the area it’s so hopeful to see mum and joey wombats #wombats #mittagong #ourbackyard #habitatforwildlife 020

Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Creating habitat for local wildlife. As Sydney sprawls and properties are landscaped to resemble English gardens, land for wildlife could not be more important. If gardens require poisons, astroturf and machines, it’s time to consider apartment living. The kids can play in the park #artandlife 010

Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 16/03/2025This continues to be my favourite exhibition catalogue, Part Object Part Sculpture, curated by Helen Molesworth in 2006 when she was Chief Curator at Wexner. Being in Australia I never saw the show. Hesse, Fontana, Orozco, Gober, Bourgeois and more. Anyone out there who was lucky enough to see it? 010
Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 15/03/2025I’m Not Your Oyster, 2023, acrylic paint on vinyl, 25x25cm. Part of a 2024 exhibition that marked the beginning of the Repatriation Project, that sees the return of a seashell collection to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. They will ultimately be returned by the Cocos Malay community. 050

Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Phallic Eye: Anticipation. Addressing the male gaze. I’ve finished the visual component of my short video. Next step sound. 020
Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Another favourite is Peter Doig’s Man Dressed as a Bat, 2007, oil on linen, 300 x 300cm. In a similar fashion to Laura Owens’ work below, this painting displays atmospheric, almost hallucinatory qualities 0110
Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Laura Owens, Untitled, 2003, acrylic and oil on canvas, 65 x 58inches. I love this painting, it’s so peaceful and full of gentle spirits. Everything is alive and watching in this washy happy communion 150

Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 10/03/2025When Brenda and I arrived in London direct from Sydney on 30 Sept 2023, the first thing we did was to speed walk to Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery to catch the last day of Rithika Merchant’s exhibition Terraformation. Such a thrill to see it in the flesh #rithikamerchant #kristinhjellegjerdegallery 010

Sally Clarke @sallyclarkestudio.bsky.social · 07/03/2025nga.gov.au/stories-idea... The Anne Dangar exhibition at the Australian National Gallery was a knockout. Fascinating life and work. Great to see the careers of women artists receiving more attention and her relationship with Grace Crowley acknowledged 020
