2 Plant Life/Interiors

Indoor GreenLiving with PlantsBree Claffey

The Victorians suffered from ‘fern madness’, the 70s was the age of the macramé plant hanger, whilst the Japanese believe where there are plants life energy flows well.

For centuries and across cultures, plants have transformed

interiors. Today houseplants are once again experiencing a

revival. Author Bree Claffey of Mr Kitly journeys into the worlds

of her plant-loving friends to share their serotonin-inducing

plant-filled spaces. This is more than a gardening book; this is

an inspirational look at life with plants. From the ever-reliable

Peace lily and beguiling Fiddle leaf fig to the elusive Chinese

money plant, houseplants are showcased in all their weird and

wonderful forms. More than good-looking props, plants are

living growing things rooted in community and creativity and

as this book celebrates, houseplants are not a passing trend –

they’re a way of life.

Bree Claffey is the owner of

Mr Kitly – an emporium of

carefully curated ceramics,

homewares and lush indoor

plants, which stylists, designers

and creative types flock to.

Bree regularly curates

houseplants for cafes and

shops and holds monthly

exhibitions featuring work by

various artists and makers from

Australia and beyond.

The Terrace HouseReimagined for the Australian Way of LifeCameron Bruhn & Katelin Butler

With British precedents and working-class origins, the terrace house is a story of remarkable resilience.

Today it is highly sought-after for its nostalgic charm and inner-city

locale. A new generation of homeowners is making their mark by

working with architects and designers to reimagine the terrace house

for a twenty-first-century lifestyle. From subtle refinements to bold

geometric forms, alterations and additions are often hidden from the

street creating a sense of intrigue about what lies behind, above or

beyond the romantic facade. This collection of homes celebrates the

incredible history and enduring appeal of these well-loved buildings.

Cameron Bruhn is the editorial

director of Architecture Media. He

has twice been a member of

multidisciplinary teams shortlisted

Land Marks IIIJohn WolseleySasha Grishin

For more than half a century John Wolseley has been widely acclaimed for the way his art practice engages with the environment and broader ecology.

Working across several art mediums, but mostly known for his

experimental techniques in printmaking and watercolour, Wolseley’s

work crosses over a number of disciplines including the natural sciences

and philosophy. Although he draws on empirical investigation frequently

immersing himself in the Australian environment, his deeply moving and

profoundly beautiful works are full of great passion and consummate

skill.

Land Marks III is a collaboration between artist and art historian,

John Wolseley and Sasha Grishin, which has developed over more than

twenty years. It builds on two earlier editions to advance a timely and

well-informed assessment of an artist who has been increasingly seen

amongst artists as the environmental conscience of our time.

Professor Sasha Grishin AM,

FAHA is the Adjunct Professor

of Art History at the Australian

National University and a

Guest Curator at the State

Library of Victoria.

15Pop Culture

Unemployable30 Years of Hardcore, Skate and Street Edited by Jason Boulter Unemployable is the story of a bunch of misfits who chose to create a world to exist in, rather than conform to one in which they didn’t fit. Led by Australia’s Hill brothers, the group became industry pioneers, and formed the skate, street and surf company, Globe International.

Globe was the first Australian skate shoe player; a creator and distributor of

leading streetwear fashion labels such as Stüssy, Mossimo, Obey, Richard

Allan and Mooks; a producer of celebrated skate and surf movies; and from

its earliest beginnings, a business that recognised the importance of

connecting to the customer. Co-founder Matt Hill sums it up best: ‘We

wanted a grown-up life that would match our teen lives: optimistic,

innovative and fun. Turns out when you band people together with that

“fuck convention” mentality, it’s a powerful, creative and inspiring force.’

Brumby Nick Leary This spectacular book features breaktaking portraits of the wild brumbies

of outback Australia. Nick Leary was first introduced to photography while

working as an international model. In 2000, he decided to try his luck on

the other side of the lense and went on to become a celebrated fashion

photographer, before shifting his focus to a photographic art project

‘Celebrate Australia’. Of Brumby, Leary says: ‘There is a feeling about this

country that excites me, it’s a feeling of freedom and rawness. I chose to

photograph Australia’s wild horses as to me the brumby epitomises this

feeling and through these images I can share both the beauty and the

spirit of Australia with the world.’

Nick Leary was an international model before

starting his career as a photographer in New York in

2000. He has travelled the world shooting for fashion

titles such as Vogue, and his clientele includes Calvin

The Forever House Time-Honoured Australian Homes Cameron Bruhn & Katelin Butler

Imagine a home designed and built especially for your family to grow, evolve and create memories in over a lifetime. The Forever House celebrates twenty-three such dwellings through the intimate stories of the families and architects who created them. These timeless homes have been captured as they are today by some of Australia’s best architectural photographers, and archival drawings offer insight into the original designs. Spanning forty years from the fifties to the eighties, this volume features the country’s most acclaimed architects – from Robin Boyd and Harry Seidler to Glenn Murcutt and Peter Stutchbury. Rather than the most seminal works, many of these buildings are the lesser-known gems – the modernist explorations, remote raw-timber cabins and postmodern rarities loved and often lived in for decades by the same families. They are houses that you would never want to leave – homes that transcend their era, bring endless delight to daily living and deftly respond to life’s chapters.
