I’m very excited that my drawing video, Entropy: Lessons from the Sea, has been selected by Scott Elliot, Assistant Curator, Australian Art, Art Gallery of NSW, for inclusion in the 2026 Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing. Congratulations to all the artists who keep drawing alive and thank you to the donors and organisers who make this prize possible.

The 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

Creating 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

This 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?

I’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.

I had a conversation with @Anand Giridharadas this morning he dubbed "The Stupid Coup" after what I've been calling it. If you would like me to be cheerfully intransigent about the clown-authoritarians, here we go: the.ink/p/the-stupid...

Rebecca Solnit on the "stupid coup"
Rebecca Solnit on the silver lining of this chaotic, incompetent authoritarianism. Plus: resistance, coalition-building, purity politics, hope, gathering, and roses

Another 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

When 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

nga.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
