    Artist Interview: Elizabeth Close

    *Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander audiences are advised that this program contains the name and voice of someone who has passed away.* In this episode, SALA chats to artist Elizabeth Close. Elizabeth talks about the path she took to becoming a visual artist and how her love of art was influenced by her grandmother. She discusses how her work is inspired by other indigenous artists, such as Nyunmiti Burton, and non-indigenous artists like Georgina Hill, and how her practice has become more diverse over the years. She reveals some of her favourite works and the reasons why she holds them in high regard. She talks about her recent recovery from brain surgery and how keen she is to get back into the studio to work on a new cultural sovereignty project that’s in the making. Finally, she tells listeners where they can find some of her collaborative works around the city of Adelaide, including the mural of Uncle Stevie Gadlabarti Goldsmith on Wright Street.

    SALA Forum with 2025 Feature Artist Dr Sue Kneebone, and monograph writers Nicole Clift, Elle Freak & Andrew Purvis

    In this episode recorded at the Adelaide Central School of Art, Suzanne Close talks to 2025 SALA Feature Artist Sue Kneebone, and her monograph writers Nicole Clift, Elle Freak and Andrew Purvis. They discuss the different approach each writer took in writing their essays, and how each was influenced by different aspects of Sue's work and career, in particular the use of found objects and other materials, and the role her family history has played in her body of work.  Sue discusses her influences and impulses, and reflects on her colonial settler history and the way it informs her practice, and how she wishes to keep vouching for First Nations voices and environmental awareness.
