ARTWORK

Laura Jones

Sliding doors, 2024

Tim Winton, 2024

Sulman Prize 2024, Archibald Prize 2024. Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia.

Self-portraiture allows me to capture moments of vulnerability and wonder in everyday settings. Sliding doors was painted at the start of a new relationship. I adopted the pose of Pierre Bonnard's wife, Marthe, in his 1932 work The bathroom. The mirror reflected the bedroom of my apartment. This equalised the image plane, allowing me to capture a familiar place - and body - from a different perspective. The small picture of domestic life collides with the big picture of the sublime.

In 2016, Laura Jones undertook an artist residency to study the bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef, leading to her exhibition Bleached. Afterwards, she met acclaimed author and conservationist Tim Winton at an environmental advocacy event.

‘I was amazed by the humility of this great novelist, who has enchanted generations of Australian readers,’ says Jones, a four-time Archibald finalist who is also in this year’s Sulman Prize.

‘Last year, I watched his ABC documentary, Ningaloo Nyinggulu, about the fight to save Ningaloo Reef. It was beautiful and terrifying. In a speech, Tim said the lack of action on climate change hasn’t been challenged enough in the arts. I was stunned to discover a portrait of Tim had never been a finalist in the Archibald Prize. Then I found out why – he was a reluctant subject,’ says Jones.

‘When I flew to Perth for a sitting, the Great Barrier Reef was suffering its fifth mass bleaching event in eight years. Tim was warm and witty. We spoke about the historical relationship between printmaking and political activism. I approached his portrait as if it was a monotype, using thin brushstrokes and letting the paint bleed across the canvas like ink into paper. Dreamy yet direct.’

What I connect with…

I love the colours and gestural strokes in Laura Jones’s work. Her Sulman entry captivated me as soon as I entered the exhibition. The Archibald entry not so much, but both did show up the others around them. So beautiful and light and fresh.

I will never not be obsessed with Tommy Lee Jones in the Eyes of Laura Mars (1978).

First of all, the wardrobe. In this movie, Tommy isn’t your average American man covered in Doritos dust wearing an Adidas tracksuit. The costume design by Theoni V. Aldredge was on point and he looked sharp and polished in every tweed coat, turtleneck, fitted suit, dress shirt and blazer jacket.

But at the same time, Tommy had a unibrow and was an ex-football player gymcel irl so you know he’s too masculine to be an actual New Yorker and is really a Texan. His hardened cop character John Neville is tough but well dressed for the brutal NY winter, dating Faye Dunaway, investigating fashion model murders, and hiding a dark secret.

Also Tommy wrote his character’s best dialogue but he was modest and took no credit which he instead gave to director Irvin Kershner.

Laura and Franklin's wedding was a huge event for the film industry. Everybody was talking about it, and their faces were all over the newspapers and magazines for days. Any doubts and rumours about their relationship preferences were quickly forgotten or at least shoved to the side, making room for talks about the beautiful dress and the love they were so clearly feeling for each other.

Especially Niall could use the distraction. At first, he was hesitant to go, not wanting another adult thing to worry about. But when he was actually there, it was not as bad after all. In fact, he quite enjoyed watching his friends' live performance and could not help but chuckle at the presence of the reporters whom Laura had been sure to invite anonymously. The best way to combat gossip really was just giving the people a bigger thing to talk about, and the papers did not disappoint.

[TRANSCRIPT]

The wedding event of the year!

Film stars Laura Nielsen and Franklin Cleary ("Breath of My Dreams") have tied the knot! The intimate ceremony, which is sure to be a testament of their love, was witnessed by their parents and actor colleague Niall McGregor with his wife.
