The calm before the racing, Mullaloo Beach, Western Australia.

This was the ocean last Saturday at the Nipper Qualifiers. Unfortunately the ocean won’t look quite like this tomorrow for the Rottnest Channel Swim. Rotten luck. Good luck to everyone, particularly all the solo swimmers.

Colours catching sunlight, Mullaloo Beach, Western Australia.
Very early start, super early finish at the nipper qualifiers today. But plenty of competitors hadn’t had enough and hit the water after racing finished for more fun.

Yhonnie Scarce: The Light of Day, The Art Gallery of Western Australia.
It was a privilege yesterday to be taken on an intimate tour of ’s newest exhibition by the artist herself, Yhonnie Scarce. Opening today as part of Perth Festival, Yhonnie Scarce: The Light of Day is Australia’s largest-ever ensemble of collected glass and mixed-media works by the internationally-recognised Kokatha and Nukunu artist, who brings to light some of the darkest shadows of Australia’s past through her beautiful yet haunting glass installations and sculptures. Drawing on family stories that have been passed down, combined with her own research, brings to light the impact of nuclear testing in Australia on First Nations people, drawing particular attention to Maralinga and Yhonnie’s birthplace of Woomera in South Australia. She also references the dehumanisation of First Nations families and communities through the brutalisation of bodies without consent for the sake of research.
Yhonnie was drawn to glass-blowing in her early years as an art student and since the early 2000s has built an international career that includes recent exhibitions at The Armory Show, New York, IKON Gallery in Birmingham and Palais de Tokyo, Paris. “I see it as an extension of myself,” says Yhonnie. “Using breath to create these sculptures and give life to stories. Glass is so precious and beautiful it’s the perfect medium.”
Curator Clothilde Bullen says it’s an exhibition that reveals and acknowledges historic hurts, but at the same time the works can be appreciated and admired for their scale, beauty and artistry.

The exhibition runs until 19 May as a key exhibition of the 2024 visual arts program. Read more about Yhonnie and the exhibition in issue 19 of magazine, due out late March.
