Event Details

Katrina Strickland, editor of Good Weekend magazine, engages in a stimulating conversation with prominent artists Alex Seton and Laura Jones. Laura Jones, born in Sydney in 1982 and currently based there, channels the intricate relationships between humanity and nature in her paintings and monotypes. Her art captivates with its loose yet profound exploration of these themes, exemplified by her recent win of the 2024 Archibald Prize. Meanwhile, Alex Seton utitlises sculpture, photography, video and installation to give tangible form to complex ideas. His works, marked by careful consideration and playful engagement with concepts, challenge viewers to confront their own perspectives and beliefs.
