    S8, Ep 52 - Ruth Ribeaucourt: A Creative Collaboration with Antoinette Poisson

    Photographer and magazine founder, Ruth Ribeaucourt, talks to Judy about her creative collaboration with cult French interiors and homewares brand, Antoinette Poisson.   After photographing ‘A Year in the French Style’ for the brand’s founders, Vincent Farelly and Jean-Baptiste Martin, Ruth was invited to collaborate with them a second time on a range of wallpapers and fabrics, based on their shared love of historic French textiles and patterns.   Ruth recounts how visiting flea markets and collecting antique textiles as a novice collector, first helped her to learn the language and assimilate the culture of her adopted home when she moved to Provence from her native Ireland, and talks about FAIRE, the magazine she founded, to take her readers inside the creative lives of artists, artisans and curators from France and around the world. You can listen to Judy's previous conversation with Ruth in Episodes 14 and 15 of Unpaused.  Show Notes:  Ruth Ribeaucourt Ruth Ribeaucourt Instagram Faire Magazine Antoinette Poisson Antoinette Poisson is known for reviving traditional paper dominoes—beautiful, repeat-pattern domino prints. With a cheeky nod to French history, they were named after King Louis XV’s favourite mistress, better known as Madame de Pompadour.

    S8, Ep 50 - Emily Kam Kngwarray: Renowned Australian Desert Artist

    Welcome back! In this new series, Unpaused is changing direction. No longer about corporate women reinventing corporate careers, the new Unpaused will be about women who broke with their careers and found a new calling by making something important with their hands. Judy has tried to bring the visual into the realm of the podcast to better convey these transformations in both colour and texture so have a look at Unpaused’s new website and Instagram page for more.   To ignite this new chapter, Judy delves into the story of the renowned Australian desert artist, Emily Kam Kngwarray. One of the most significant painters to emerge in the late twentieth century,  Kngwarray's monumental canvases and vibrant batiks immediately conjure her life as an elder from the Utopia region of Australia. Remarkably she only found her calling in her 8th decade, beginning a career as an artist that lasted until her death at 86 or thereabouts.   Emily's international renown has been fostered, in part, by gallerist D’Lan Davidson of Dlan Contemporary in Melbourne.   In this interview, Judy speaks to D’Lan and the Head of Research at D'Lan Contemporary, Vanessa Meloni, and joins with them in an exploration of Emily’s remarkable late-life awakening.   Show Notes D'Lan Contemporary National Gallery of Australia Tate Modern // Hosted by Judy Stewart // Produced by Caroline Hughes for Feast Collective//Sound Engineer: Jason Millhouse // Instagram: ⁠@_unpaused⁠ // Website: ⁠www.unpaused.net
