Issue 30
Sophie Cape is one of the country’s rising art stars. Creating large scale abstract paintings outdoors in the bush, we speak with Cape in the lead up to her Sydney exhibition about the visceral connection to the natural world and its influence on her painting. Also in the issue, a conversation with late Colin Lanceley – a tribute. Plus a special selection of extended book reviews.
