MTalks—Play, Place: Esther Stewart, in Conversation with Pallavi Sen

How might an artwork be part of the language of interiors or functional design? How important is understanding scale and process?Tai Snaith and Esther Stewart go deep into process during this conversation. They discuss Esther’s studio process and what it means to adopt a more design-based practice and apply it to painting. Esther outlines the different stages of making a body of work from the ‘suitcase of patterns’ and ideas phase through to experimenting, ‘jiggled out thinking’, trialling, planning, making models  and finally the labour or making stage. They unpack the notion of thresholds, taste, perspective and the uncomfortable but interesting problem of what happens when a visual artist’s work becomes part of the decor.Additional resources: 'How to Decorate a Dump' at Heide: https://www.heide.com.au/exhibitions/esther-stewart-how-decorate-dump Gertrude Contemporary: http://www.gertrude.org.au/studios/studios/current-22/esther-stewart.phps 'The world is waiting for the sunrise' at TCB: https://tcbartinc.org.au/the-world-is-waiting-for-the-sunrise/ MPavilion: http://mpavilion.org/collaborator/esther-stewart/
