Carl Lindgren :) MANAGING EDITOR [email protected]

Welcome to map magazines 147th issue. Almost two years ago, we asked the map community to help us raise $5000 for a water well in Africa. A few weeks ago we received notice that the water well has been built in a village in Ethiopia called Ruba Gaf. Thanks to you, this village of 270 people now has access to clean and safe drinking water. What was astounding about the project was that each family using the water well contributed between three and six cents towards the wells construction! Considering that years ago, Australia got rid of its one cent and two cent coins, it gives some humbling perspective on how those living in poverty live on such small amounts of money.

However, for the villagers, this contribution helped instill a sense of personal ownership for the water well. The women and children used to walk up to two hours to collect water for their families and even then, each family member had to make do with just five litres of water per day for drinking, bathing and cooking. Now on average, theyre less than 15 minutes from their water project, they have enough water and more importantly, the water they bring home each day is safe enough to drink. So, a big thank you to all those who donated its a great reminder that the power of small amounts of money from a lot of people can make a whole world of difference. Remember to dream ...

ark MAPS CHARITY: WATER WELLIn June 2010, map magazine called upon its readers and community to help raise money to build a charity: water well in Africa. Two years later, we are immensely proud to announce that the well has been built in the village of Ruba Gaf in northern Ethiopia. Thanks to everyones generous donations, the 270 people living in Ruba Gaf now have access to clean and safe drinking water every day, making their lives a whole lot better. Thank you so much to everyone who so generously donated to the cause, helping us to make our dream come true! @ www.charitywater.org

Set amidst sweeping scenery characterised by the lemon groves, cypress trees and villas of Italy, Love is All You Need is director Susanne Biers latest project, which plays on the genre of romantic comedy. The story follows two seemingly lost souls as they travel to Italy for the wedding of their children. Businessman and widower Philip (Pierce Brosnan) is still bitter about the loss of his wife when he meets the cheery Ida (Trine Dyrholm), who has recently discovered that her husband had been having an affair. As the two spend more time together, they begin to teach one another the meaning of happiness.

JOSEPH CAMPBELLThough he is most well known for his work as a writer and lecturer in comparative mythology, Joseph Campbells wisdom transcended mere academia. The affable scholar made the mythology of myriad cultures accessible through his books such as The Heros Journey and The Power of Myth. He dreamed of showing the world that, regardless of religious creed or cultural belief, we all experience the same journey as human beings.

LIFES A WHOLE LOT BETTER WHEN YOURE ...

EDITORS MEMO We can hardly contain our excitement that the arrival of summer is so close. And not only are we celebrating the onset of endless days of sunshine this month, but also the completion of our charity: water well! For us, the well was our small way of changing the world for the better and, in our November Sunshine issue, we share the stories of three people who are doing the same: local creative entrepreneur Ben Johnston; urban gardener and founder of The Little Veggie Patch Co Mat Pember; and political documentary filmmaker Klaartje Quirijns. In their own small ways, these dreamers have found the thing that they love best and are using it to educate and enrich the lives of others. May the oncoming months of sunshine and fun bring you plenty of moments of inspiration to find what it is you do best!

Cities are often famous for a particular cuisine, be it the croissants of Paris or the pierogi of Warsaw. To Yuki Matsuo, New York City is an architectural manifestation of her love for doughnuts. Blending her affection for local food culture and her passion for doughnuts, Yuki created the New York Doughnut Map a well-edited compilation of 35 of the Big Apples best spots to sample the treat. The map was published in October also known as National Doughnut Month in the USA by All-You-Can-Eat Press.@ www.allyoucaneatpress.com

Dennis Hopper was known for his ability to inhabit the skin of a character in a manner that would stay with you long after the credits rolled. What is lesser known about the actor is his keen photographic eye. The exhibition Dennis Hopper The Lost Album, on at Berlins Martin-Gropius-Bau museum until December 17, reveals a collection of Dennis personal photos that had been tucked away in five forgotten crates. Taken between 1961 and 1967, the shots provide insight into Hollywood life, both through landscapes and portraits of icons including Paul Newman and Andy Warhol. @ www.berlinerfestspiele.de

The time of year has arrived when gents begrudgingly reveal the pasty legs that have been hidden beneath long pants all winter. A good method for distracting curious eyes from the impact of several months without sun (or, potentially, exercise) is to sport a fine pair of swimming trunks. Timo Trunks combines classic Mediterranean cool with eye-catching prints to ensure no-one will be looking below them at your legs. Being based in Thailand, theres little doubt that the minds behind the brand know their swimming attire well. @ www.timotrunks.com

Rabbits are particularly clever members of the animal kingdom, not to mention industrious, but sadly they are often disregarded simply as pests weve even heard that its illegal to own a pet rabbit in Queensland unless you are a magician. While that may be an urban myth, if your living quarters dont allow for a pet of the fluffy-tailed variety, you can still pronounce your love of the animal by wearing the Audrey ring. Designed by Sydney-based creative duo Museum of Small Things, other creatures also turned into ring form for the collection include a deer, a wild boar and an octopus. @ www.themuseumofsmallthings.com

The opportunity to see an exotic animal in a zoo or circus is, for some people, an exciting and joyous activity. For others, the experience is burdened by the thought of animals in captivity, and the fact that the creatures have often been transplanted from their natural habitats to urban enclosures where their basic instincts are suppressed. Touched in this vein, Parisian photographer Eric Pillot sought to capture the juxtaposition of spectacle versus nature. While visiting various parks and zoos throughout Europe, Eric used his artistic eye to examine not only the animals that dwelled within, but also the architecture of the enclosures themselves. The result is the photographic series In Situ, which is at once whimsical and haunting. Eric draws attention to the fact that, while the animals might be well fed, protected and cared for, they will

never have the opportunity to run free on open plains, swim in wild lagoons, soar freely through the sky, or face a natural predator as part of the circle of life. He also seeks to engage viewers with their own basic animal instincts, encouraging them to consider how they are impacted by their environment. In turn, each of the animals takes on a seemingly human characteristic, from the graceful flamingo peeking out shyly from behind a wall, to the polar bear slumped languidly as if on a couch on an arid rock bed far from the icy landscape of the Arctic. Before turning his hand to photography, Eric spent his time exploring the fields of science and engineering. These days, much of his photographic work focuses on the behaviour and body language of zoo animals.

GENEVIEVE LOXLEY fairy floss maker/spun fairy floss

JAMEE CAMPBELL circus performer/flipside circus Block out all

negativity.

GENEVIEVE LOXLEY

Always keep your passions ignited.

JAMEE CAMPBELL

What is your profession? I am a performer and teacher of circus arts. My specialist areas are stilts, aerials, hula hoops, contortion and fire arts. What training or qualifications do you need to fill this role? I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance and a Diploma of Circus and Physical Theatre. Physical training foundations in dance, circus or gymnastics are also good prerequisites. What are the key skills and responsibilities of the role? I partake in regular conditioning for peak performance and injury prevention. It is also my responsibility to up-skill and generate new creative material. How did you get involved in your profession? I discovered circus while taking full-time dance training at university. It wasnt long until I ran away to Circo Arts in New Zealand. Could you break into the industry in other ways? Definitely. You dont need a formal qualification, but you do need a robust physical training background. Some performers start with busking, and some circuses have cadetships and internships as options. What do you hope to achieve within your industry? To question and progress the human condition through artistic and physical practices. I endeavour to provide and teach provoking examples of physical manifestations. Are you in the industry for the long term? Yes! When my body reaches its best-before date, I would love to pursue choreography and directing. What advice would you give someone looking to emulate your success? Work hard, be kind, ask questions, stay true to yourself and your ethics, find a mentor, take risks, collaborate, be informed, get involved, look after your body, get feedback and always keep your passions ignited. Did you always think you would be in this role? I thought I would be a dancer. What was your first paid job? Teaching tiny tots ballet. What would you love to do if you werent in this role? Id be a visual artist or scientist. What inspires you? I am inspired to ask questions about our humanity through the performing arts. Who is your rolemodel? Susan Murphy, a key innovator of aerial dance. What are your words of wisdom? A playful path is the shortest road to happiness.

What is your profession? I oversee the design, manufacture, marketing and sales of a range of gourmet, all-natural fairy floss. What training or qualifications do you need to fill this role? No formal training is required, just a burning desire to create a business from the ground up. I have a background in visual arts, which has helped me immensely in this role. What are the key skills and responsibilities of the role? I am responsible for using customer feedback and my own ideas to create new flavours, and working with a graphic designer for marketing. A vivid imagination, a never-say-never attitude and belief are also helpful. How did you get involved in your profession? My husband Paul was out of work and I was determined to find the next big thing that no-one else was doing. I had at least one idea each day, and Paul and I would discuss the commercial possibilities of my ideas. Eventually gourmet fairy floss was chosen. Could you break into the industry in other ways? Sure! You just need real passion for an industry or idea and make it a reality with determination and perspiration. What do you hope to achieve within your industry? To give it a shake up! Are you in the industry for the long term? Yes. I hope to introduce our fairy floss to every state of Australia and start exporting it as well. I also have other ideas based around sweet and yummy foods with a twist! What advice would you give someone looking to emulate your success? Block out all negativity, believe in yourself and keep the dream alive. Did you always think you would be in this role? I always believed I would find the next big thing; I just didnt know what it would be and when. What was your first paid job? Sales assistant in the jewellery department of Grace Bros. What would you love to do if you werent in this role? Id like to be sculpting sugar. What inspires you? People who are lateral thinkers. Who is your rolemodel? My mother, because she does what feels right. She has always believed in me when others didnt. What are your words of wisdom? Keep it simple and dont be distracted by shiny things.

If your pyjamas have become your work clothes and you are finding yourself doing procrastination chores, it may be time to consider a workspace away from home. Tucked away from the bustle of the city, The Workers Cottage in Paddington and Musgrave Muse in Red Hill provide boutique workspaces for small businesses to rent. The offices are huddled around communal spaces where creatives can network and share ideas. @ www.musgravemuse.com

From choosing fairtrade blends to purchasing beans that have been sustainably grown, there are many ways that your morning coffee can contribute to a better world. On a local level, Espresso Train in Nundah serves up silky coffee prepared by employees afflicted with mental health issues or intellectual disabilities. The locale is a not-for-profit initiative that has been acting as a pitstop for the caffeine hungry since 1999. As well as providing hearty breakfasts made with free-range and local ingredients, the cafe also offers catering services for events. @ www.ncec.com.au

Coco Chanel believed: Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. Linked with the changing of the seasons, creative inspiration and self-expression, fashion is a snapshot of a moment in time. With the arrival of spring, Wintergardens fashion retailers are now drenched in vibrant hues, reflecting the buoyant mood of the season. New spring fashions line the racks of the boutiques, offering a selection of garments, shoes and accessories dappled in the shades of a flowerbed in bloom. @ www.wgarden.com.au

When creating a piece of jewellery, a shrewd eye is necessary to ensure the piece is crafted with integrity and carries a design that will beguile future generations. Recently celebrating its 25th birthday, Stephen Dibb Jewellery is still led by its eponymous founder, who decided on a whim many years ago to chase his jewellery dreams. No longer located in its original garage space, Stephen Dibb Jewellery now has two studios, located in Holland Park and in Cleveland, where jewellery aficionados can design their own custom-created jewellery. @ www.sdj.com.au

There are characters throughout history who were so witty, sage or profound that something they said in passing has forever been immortalised between a set of quotation marks. Putting an artistic spin on some of the worlds most famous quotes, Obvious State Literature (from New York designer Evan Robertson) creates illustrations inspired by moments of oratorical genius. From Truman Capote and Jane Austen, to Oscar Wilde and Leo Tolstoy, each illustration explores the iconic quotes in pictorial form and, in some cases, brings a whole new meaning to the utterings. The range of prints is available on Etsy. @ www.etsy.com

The quotidian ritual of telling the time is not usually marked by pleasure but, rather, by necessity. Re-imagining the timepiece to become one of more aesthetic value, designer Rachel Gant, co-founder of Yield Design Co., envisaged the Disc Clock. Incorporating the function and motion of an everyday desk clock, this particular time-telling contraption features discs floating on an axis in place of hands, with the negative space revealing the time of day. The clock is constructed from ceramic with lasercut oak discs and is also backlit to make it easy to view amidst the cloak of darkness. @ www.rachelgant.com

When you are born to exceptionally creative parents, life often takes one of two paths. Either you revel in your creative upbringing, nurturing it and exploring it in every aspect of life, or you rebel, yearning to explore a world of quantitative logic and concrete, provable theory. But when these two contrasting mindsets manifest themselves in one individual, an unshakeable entrepreneurial spirit is born. And such was the case for Ben Johnston.

I was an accident for two hippies, he explains as the reason for his existence. They were both teachers who dabbled in art and when I came along they both changed their careers to be at home with me. They became live-at-home artists my mum became quite an established papermaker and my dad did watercolour and sculpture. I had this crazy creativity around me all the time.

In spite of the creative influence, Bens penchant was for the analytical, particularly maths and science, and in his final years of school he began working towards a career in engineering. But a last-minute flirtation with the world of industrial design seized his curiosity in the end, and it was that path he followed into university.

It was while Ben was at university in 2004 that the impetus for the beginning of Josephmark came. He was living with best friend Josh Capelin and their girlfriends (who also happened to be sisters). Josh was studying advertising and the two lads decided to combine their complementary

nous and start a business from their Paddington abode. We had these ideals of running the business and surfing heaps, which we were kind of successful at, Ben says of their initial philosophy, laughing at their neophyte naivety. But we were really stimulated by ideas in general. It was design orientated but we didnt really have any particular goal in mind, so the first couple of years were really spent just learning how to run a business.

In the first year, the boys sourced the bulk of their work on the back of their youthful enthusiasm and laid-back cool. We spent most of the time walking around in bare feet and with our shirts off, Ben describes of the duos work environment. Eventually we knew the business was getting serious when we spent more time with our shirts on than off!

About 18 months into the business, Ben and Josh hired their first design-specialised employee, Jess Huddart (who, these days, is Josephmarks creative director based in New York City). Lack of space forced them to search for a new work milieu, which they soon discovered within the charming confines of Substation 4 on Petrie Terrace. The responsibility of employees and rent was incentive enough for the lads to knuckle down and work hard at the business. Within a year they had gone from subleasing part of Substation 4, to occupying the entire building, which still remains their headquarters today.

While Josh left Josephmark in 2007 to

pursue other dreams, Ben says that, even after evolving for eight years, many of their original visions for the business still imbue its daily activities. We never wanted to feel like we were going to work and we carried that ethos through when we started building a team, he explains. I guess it stemmed from our own desire to create a workplace that was fun and enjoyable, with work that was stimulating.

Another core aspect is voracious curiosity. Curiosity was one of the reasons that we started the business and has continued to carry us to some very interesting places, Ben says. Were very comfortable with playing in the unknown.

Those forays into the unexpected have led Ben and the Josephmark team to expand their work into other realms. First there was Gilimbaa, an indigenous creative agency that brings elements of indigenous art and storytelling to the world of contemporary design and communication. Then there was the digital strategy company Native Digital, creative agency Breeder, music website We Are Hunted, and online t-shirt design studio, Made in the Now.

And on top of all that, Ben still found time to open West End watering hole The End in 2011. That was based on years of experience in drinking beer, Ben laughs. Originally we were looking at setting up a bar in the Substation and thankfully came to our senses and realised it would probably be detrimental to our businesses. When we eventually found the West End location,

INTERVIEW BYMIKKI BRAMMERPHOTOGRAPHY BY CARL LINDGREN

There are those who dream of change, but rarely take action. Then

there are the dreamers who envisage a better world and dedicate their

entire existence to making it happen. Since it first began as the fledgling

creation of two best friends back in 2004, creative agency Josephmark

has cultivated an enviable stable of clients and offshoot projects, including

music aggregator site We Are Hunted, online t-shirt design studio Made

in the Now and, most recently, the redesign for MySpace. But dont let

founder Ben Johnstons laid-back, shaggy-haired-surfer demeanour lead

you astray this 29-year-old entrepreneur has his sights set on changing

the world. And hell do everything he can to make it happen.

it became a pet project to create a space that represented our perfect bar that we really wanted to go to.

Two of Josephmarks latest projects include the design of online independent newspaper The Global Mail and the recently launched redesign of MySpace. Asked how a small creative agency in Brisbane caught the eye of the powers behind the revamp of the pioneering music site, Ben says he was just as confounded. In September last year we got an out-of-the blue email from someone at MySpace asking if we were interested in taking part in their worldwide tender for the redesign, he explains of the surprise. We later found out that we were one of only five agencies asked to tender, and the only one outside the US. Theyd approached us based on our experience with We Are Hunted. But, to be honest, I think we were thrown in at the last minute.

Despite being up against some of the worlds best digital agencies, three weeks later Josephmark received the phone call confirming it had been awarded the MySpace contract. The site relaunched last month, but Ben says theyve only just scratched the surface. What was released to the world a few weeks ago is just a fraction of the overall picture, he enthuses.

The recent success has allowed Josephmark to wedge its foot into the industry in the US, buoying creative director Jess efforts to build the brands reputation in New York.

While their trajectory now points steadily towards success, Ben says there have been tougher times. It hasnt been an easy road and there have been times in our history when theres been no cash in the bank and weve had to find ways to pay wages. It really makes you question what youre doing.

But in the end, Bens desire to make change always won over the doubts. I think it was a naive optimism that made me not give up, he muses. I believed that we genuinely had a business that gave back more than it took and I just knew that it had to go on.

These days Ben finds his inspiration within his tight-knit community of friends, who he says ground him in both a spiritual and business sense. His other greatest inspiration is nature. I just love the dirt and I love the water and I try to spend time outdoors as much as possible, he says. And I try to look at the stars a lot and think about how small and insignificant we are in space and time. It gives me the confidence to do whatever I believe in.

When you are the designated chef at a dinner party, sometimes it seems pointless to go to the trouble of wearing a nice outfit, only to have it concealed by your apron or worse, be soiled by a splash of food. Designed for those who consider cooking a serious business as much as an artistic affair, Aiste Nesterovaites Apron adds sharp-suited glamour to the culinary process so that chefs can flit between the kitchen and dining room with ease. The apron comes in the form of an elegant peak-lapelled vest, or a stiff-collared button-up for more formal occasions. @ www.aistenesterovaite.com

Its safe to say that neoprene cases are no longer the sole option when toting about your beloved technological appendages. Whats more, cases for such items have evolved to a point where they are worthy of incorporating into an outfit rather than squirrelling them away in a bag, out of sight. Practically demanding to be shown off, the Ida iPad case is one of the latest releases from Hungarian designer, TheBtaVersion. Part of the Kasita handbag collection, Ida is an elegant specimen, crafted from perforated leather with a metal stud enclosure. @ www.thebetaversion.com

As part of playground politics, it was often necessary to swear allegiance to a particular cartoon character. Fortunately for girls who simply couldnt commit to just one, theres a way to embrace your love with pride. Shoe designer Minna Parikka and artist Jani Leinonen have created a range of shoes populated with Americas most beloved cartoon and cereal-box personalities, from Hello Kitty to Snap, Crackle and Pop! Created as part of the exhibition Boutique: Where Art Meets Fashion at Helsinkis Amos Anderson Art Museum, the shoes have already been acquired by Lady Gaga. @ www.amosanderson.fi

As technology advances, the realm of ideas grows, pushing our brains to view things in an entirely new perspective. Blending technology with the craft of jewellery making, Dutch designer Michiel Cornelissen uses 3D printing to create his range of necklaces and earrings. Entitled Happy Bird, the collection features birds that actually swing on their perches within their colourful cages all achieved in the printing process with no post-production required. Michiel also designs a range of similar ornaments entitled Merry Bird. @ www.soonsalon.com

I was pretty sports mad as a kid, so I think my childhood dream was to be a sportstar. Anything where I could chase after a ball of any shape I would have been happy to do as a profession. But as I got older and saw how professional sport can be really quite tough, my dream evolved into wanting to just work for myself and be my own boss.My Italian grandmother was a huge influence on me. All my memories of her are in the garden or cooking. Shes from a very poor background in Italy and shes uneducated and cant read or write. But the one thing she can really relate to and knows a lot about is growing food; its really quite natural for her. When I was a kid and growing up, that was something that we just did so much of because she had a huge veggie patch and would grow things like tomatoes in summer and broad beans in winter. I was intrigued with growing and killing things, and all the sounds and scents. It really was my favourite place to be as a kid.I actually studied commerce and forest science ... but, ironically, I dropped forest science after the first semester because I found out I had to go on site for six months. I had a new girlfriend and I didnt really want to leave her. So I prioritised!I went to live in Spain for six months after I finished university. I got there on my 20th birthday. When I came home, I got a part-time job landscaping with the guy who was doing my parents house. For the next

four years, I would live in Spain for nine or ten months of the year and then come back and work in landscaping as a part-time job.We were running illegal hostels in Barcelona, subletting houses to backpackers, and I had a great time doing that for a number of years. When I left in 2003, I had wanted to go back and legitimise the business, but it was quite tough because it was all a little bit on the sly and if you got caught, youd be in a lot of trouble!What really stopped me from going back to Spain in the end was that I was enjoying the landscaping too much. I got to a point in my late twenties where I no longer wanted to be working for someone else, so thats when I started doing The Little Veggie Patch Co, around the end of 2007.Fabian and I were set up by my sister. She worked in marketing and advertising at Sensis. That was during the GFC when there wasnt a lot of job security and Fabian had been the last person to come into that team. Hed been doing a blog in his spare time called The Backyard Farmer, which was really just giving people tips on how to grow food. Id been doing the practical installation side, so my sister set up a discussion and we met for a couple of coffees. He then took the giant leap and decided to do it as a living. I think that was when everything became what it is today, when we started working together midway through 2009.

Theres quite an emerging food culture and its hitting the mainstream now with shows like MasterChef. Its all about using fresh ingredients and doing it yourself. I think the new demographic of people who are getting into gardening have never grown anything before. Now, all of a sudden, the first thing that they want to grow is a pot of herbs or something theyve seen on TV or read about in a magazine or online. Most of them are beginners and know nothing about growing anything, so theres a real education in what we do because theyre starting from nothing.Attitudes have changed since we first began The Little Veggie Patch Co. We were in a real niche when we started out and we really serviced just one or two types of people fairly affluent young families who had the money and the resources. These days, it can really be anyone and we get emails and calls from people all around Australia. A lot of people are in the inner city, so were doing things on balconies and rooftops, whereas it used to be big raised garden beds and archways things like that.Weve started up a gardening club where people can rent plots in a carpark on top of Federation Square and get taught along the way. Its going to be really interesting learning to work within a space thats quite exposed in the middle of a concrete jungle. Were also growing food for all the Federation Square food tenants.

If you have to get up early in the morning, you may as well be doing something that you really love ...

INTERVIEW BY MIKKI BRAMMER

Sometimes things viewed in wonder through the eyes of a child

stay nestled in our hearts well into adulthood. Mat Pembers hours

spent exploring the sights and smells of his nonnas veggie garden

imprinted themselves on his consciousness so profoundly that they

would eventually inspire his career. In 2007, he founded Melbournes

The Little Veggie Patch Co, a business that specialises in the design,

installation and maintenance of chemical-free vegetable gardens

for urban dwellers. Ensuring that their services arent just limited

to Melbournites, Mat (pictured left) and business partner Fabian

Capomolla have recently released The Little Veggie Patch Co book,

spreading their gardening wisdom across Australia.

Our book is intended to put the onus back on our clients to some degree. We always get so many questions from people about taking care of their gardens for themselves. And because were based solely in Melbourne and are always getting emails from places like Sydney and Brisbane, the best way for us to pass the knowledge along was through a book. We also wanted to make sure we did it in a way that we were speaking to normal people and not to experienced gardeners. My favourite meal to make from the contents of my garden is a ratatouille, because its the autumn pick you get all these things like eggplants, onions, spring onions that are bulbing, capsicum and tomatoes. It probably reminds me more of the season than the food itself. Also, being a tomato lover, having freshly picked tomatoes and basil with olive oil, freshly cooked pasta and a bit of pancetta is always a favourite.Fabian and I dont pay ourselves very much but its not a difficult thing for us because we love what we do. The whole road has been a really fun one to walk so far and its been quite an easy process to date.Im so proud of all of the

opportunities weve been given just by working hard and being ourselves. Its kind of relaying your personality in your business and I think thats what appeals to people and why opportunities keep coming up. Also, its great to be able to make your parents proud of you when theyve always pressured you to do something else, but youve persevered. My dream for the future is to own a farm in Tasmania and live there for six months of the year. Ive got this idyllic lifestyle thats very much intertwined with the work that I do, so its actually very achievable, which is really exciting. Tassie is where all the produce comes from its where the food starts. Theres that whole food community, which is nicely spaced out so that youve got room to breathe.If I had one piece of advice for young people ... it would be to not jump into university straight after school. Take a year or two off to go travelling and then decide what you want to do with your life. If you have to get up early in the morning, you may as well be doing something that you really love.

NEON // Whether you are inclined to shower your plants with too much kindness, or you are a culprit of forgetting to water them, perfecting the balance needed to keep a plant alive can be challenging for those without an inherent green thumb. A good place to start is with a succulent, which will happily snuggle into this neon planter. The planter is handwoven in Melbourne and is available from The Small Garden.

COMPACT // Often the case with a dinner party is that the number of guests tends to grow in the days leading up to it. For urbanites with little space to spare, the sheer number of chairs needed can pose a problem. The Folditure range of Leaf chairs negates such conundrums, with a design that allows the chairs to be folded up and hung in a cupboard or slid under a bed.

PORCELAIN // Historically, tiles were used as a lavish decoration in places regularly frequented by the wealthy. The craft has been practised for more than 4000 years and historians have unearthed decorative tiles amongst Egypts pyramids and ancient Greek ruins. No longer for the exclusive use of the aristocracy, tiles such as this Spanish Porcelain Feature Tile from ASA Tiles can add a touch of opulence to your abode.

When approaching a building known as the bacon factory, you may not expect to encounter aromas of coffee and a warehouse filled with a working collection of machinery that provides a glimpse into the history of Australian letterpress. An empty space that was once a smallgoods factory has been reincarnated into a creative hub with the arrival of its new tenants, The Rabbit Hole Ideation Cafe and Brisbane Museum of Print (BMOP). A project by Design College Australias (DCA) typography lovers, led by Clint Harvey, BMOP is a work in progress. When completed, the space will act as a museum for the public to explore, a classroom for DCA students, and the upstairs mezzanine

will double as a library and meeting space. A letterpress devotee, Clint has travelled across Australia and the globe to hone his skills and acquire machines for his ever-growing collection. Needing a larger space to house his letterpress machines, Clint created the BMOP project. A salvaged 1840s Columbian hand press sits alongside a 1976 Heidelberg T Platen and a Poco No. 2 press from the United States, while earthy scents flow from the machines and wooden drawers laden with lead and wooden type. Many of the museums pieces were acquired locally during the process of restoring the machines, the BMOP project has even helped a local retired printer rekindle his love of letterpress.

Whether its the aroma of your grandmothers famous apple pie wafting from the oven, or the floral notes of your very first perfume, a familiar scent can symbolise a moment in time and conjure distant memories in an instant. Tucked away in an industrial neighbourhood within Woolloongabba, an unassuming building with a discreet sign bubbles with formulas for fragrances destined to become a personalised gift, or the signature scent of a new line of shampoo. When you walk into Damask Perfumery, a breeze of redolent scents, accented by some of natures finest fragrances, brushes past the nose and swirls inside the imagination, tempting you to create your own perfume. Ensconced within

the sea of nostalgic brown perfume bottles that occupies each skerrick of space within the fragrance lab, owner and head perfumer Jonathan Midgley formulates custom scents using the psychology of fragrance. When visiting to create your own signature fragrance, you are first presented with a selection of colourful patterns. Each pattern is linked to different fragrance families and the design that first catches your eye reveals the fragrance family your psyche is most attracted to. From there, fragrant accents are then added to personalise your perfume. Damask Perfumery also creates delicate scents for commercial cosmetics and retails a ready-made range of signature perfumes.

What was your childhood dream?I always wanted to go inside the houses of people who I didnt know. I remember that, when I was seven or eight years old, I really wanted to go inside these houses but I didnt know how to do it. So I had a notebook and I started to interview people I would ring the doorbell and say that I was writing a book and that I needed some stories. I think I wanted to be a writer actually, but I became a documentary filmmaker instead.Documentary filmmaking is very much about the observation of human beings has this been a common theme throughout your life?Definitely. Im really genuinely interested in human beings. My first film was about a gun runner, my second film was about a human rights lawyer and then there was Anton in Inside Out, but really I think I approached each of those people in the same way as human beings. I guess Anton was the exception to the others, as they were all really politically motivated and he isnt. This film actually only happened because Anton had asked me to advise him on a documentary and it then really happened very organically from there. I never planned to make a film about him and I didnt even know his work very well. In the end I found his world very interesting because its a world I didnt know Id always been more interested in political things than the world of rock stars.

Youve said you connected to Anton by tapping into the war in his own head. How so?When I was first starting the film, I really didnt know what it was going to be about. Then, suddenly, I made a connection with my other films, which had all been about war. I realised that theres this internal war going on inside his head and the only way to explore that was to have conversations with him in the film. And hes not really someone who likes to talk; he articulates better in a visual language than he does through speaking words. But I think those conversations, in the end, were the most interesting ones in the film. I thought it would be such a challenge for me to go inside his brain and see how he looks at things and what he sees in certain things. For instance, when we were filming the shoot with U2, you can really see how far he goes to look for something like a long, ugly and insignificant wall, which then turns out to be the background for their next album cover.What surprised you about the world Anton occupies?I actually found the world of music more interesting than the world of movies. To me, the filming of his movie The American wasnt really that exciting to be very honest. But I found all the musicians to be very interesting and it was really nice to get to know that world. That said, its all pop culture,

and Im much more interested in the political side of things. If you asked me whether Id prefer to go and spend time in beautiful hotels with George Clooney filming a movie in Italy, or go to northern Uganda and have cockroaches in my hotel room, I would say that Africa is more exciting because its what I think is more interesting.You say that you prefer to show rather than tell in your films. How do you go about doing this?Well, it was definitely true for Anton, because hes not a natural talker, so we looked for another way to do an interview. I gave him his own camera and called it a visual interview, where he could tell the story through images rather than words which is always what you want to do as a filmmaker anyway. What has been the greatest challenge youve had to overcome?The most important thing I learned from making this film about Anton is that Im always very focused on the content of a film and on finding really serious stories. Im very analytical and think about things, whereas Anton is more intuitive and, for him, its more about the form. What I learned from him is that you need to trust your intuition and be a bit less analytical.What has been one of your greatest achievements?Im most proud of my two daughters, who are eight and 11. I think it was Camille

Look at people as human beings and really try to see their beauty ...

INTERVIEW BY MIKKI BRAMMERPHOTOGRAPHY BY ANTON CORBIJN

For many years, the world of politics was Dutch director Klaartje

Quirijns filmic forte. From war and gun runners to human rights

lawyers, she used documentary filmmaking as a means of shedding

light onto the complexities and hypocrisy of the political world. But

when she met fellow Dutchman and renowned photographer and

filmmaker Anton Corbijn, her interest was piqued immensely. Soon after,

she began the three-year filming of a documentary that delved into the

psyche of the man of few words whose images and videos are amongst

musics most iconic. Klaartjes documentary, Anton Corbijn Inside Out,

will screen at Brisbane International Film Festival in November.
