“The collection dovetails into the building’s immersive design, aiming to amplify, not overwhelm,” explains Bell. The selection of Australian art, ranging from photography to ceramics, adds layers of personal significance and visual interest to the home. “In its own way, each work is deeply connected to the client’s experience of the site and its surrounds through colour, texture and theme, from the memorialised Thylacines gazing out across Bass Strait in Joseph McGlennon’s work to the mix of rich and muted coloured objects and figures that break and layer over one another like people and place converging in Charlotte Swiden’s painting.” Peter Bain, The Local Project
