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
for the creative directorship of the
Australian pavilion at the Venice
Biennale of Architecture and in

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.’

‘Clearly, we were unemployable. To the

hobbies and no future. To us, it meant not following a conventional life path.’ – Matt Hill, co-founder of Globe International

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
Klein, Giorgio Armani, Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman
and Miranda Kerr.

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.
