February 01, 2021Considering Art Podcast – Judy Millar, abstract painter
In our latest podcast episode, New Zealand artist Judy Millar talks about the dynamic abstract action paintings that she makes in her studio at a remote location outside Auckland, her exhibit at the 2009 prestigious Venice Biennale, her dislike of the word “gestural” as a description of her style, her “out of body” experiences when viewing certain works and her “site-antagonistic” public sculptures.

January 18, 2021Considering Art Podcast – Claire Luxton, multidisciplinary artist
In our latest podcast episode, British artist Claire Luxton talks about how her recent focus on photography grew from her grounding in painting and sculpture, how she uses self-portraiture as a means to express the strength and fragility of the individual that is mirrored in our environment, how her personal anxiety caught the zeitgeist of the current pandemic and how her work and accompanying poetry explores isolation, desire and uncertainty.

Hope (Seeds of Doubt)
they sow the seeds of doubt
night and day
it enters our subconscious
intravenously fed
into our nervous system since birth
we plant it in each other
to boost our own growth
thinking that stealing our neighbours’
sun
will land them in shade
but though doubt spreads its roots in
winter
it will never be evergreen
the truth can fertilise hope and it blooms all year long
