Our conversationalists for this episode are Judith Abell and Liz Walsh. They share stories of growing up in small rural Tasmanian towns, surrounded by people inventing and making – designing in all but name. Trained in both architecture and fine art, Jude was Public Art Coordinator for Hobart at the time of the recording in 2018. She describes her career so far as like “throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks”, and tells stories moving back and forth between architecture and fine art, between Hobart and London. Liz, already a much-awarded architect and an associate at Cumulus, was expecting her first child at the time of this Salon. She is optimistic, if slightly apprehensive, about what the future might bring.
This Salon was recorded live on Muwinina Country at the Hobart Brickworks Studio in Autumn 2018. Held in collaboration with The Findlay Project, it was supported by Parlour Partner AWS. Photograph: Loic Le Guilly.
