From a very early age, I developed a taste for children’s books that has carried on into adulthood. To my they are magical little treasure boxes to be enjoyed by all ages.

Since reading Heap House, I can’t get the objects out of my head and the splendid twist at the end. What was the genesis of your idea, was there an object with an ‘aura’ (as Walter Benjamin suggests) that got you thinking? Do you harbour any creative superstitions? When I read Heap House, I was reminded a lot of Dickens’ Gold...

Writing, art, motherhood and everything in between. Monday, March 30, 2015. Cate Blanchett in Vogue on art and motherhood. As you would imagine, I pretty desperately wanted Cate Blanchett to be in the first edition of The Divided Heart. She was an obvious choice. I bugged her twice about it - and her agent very politely declined on her behalf each time. Funnily enough," my partner told her, "she's at home trying to finish her book - on art and motherhood. A book she really wanted you. Published a lovely ...

Writing, art, motherhood and everything in between. Sunday, December 8, 2013. Currently on in Sydney is an exhibition. That the artists say has taken its name from my book. When they contacted me to ask if they could name their exhibition "The Divided Heart", I had to move beyond a fleeting sense of possessiveness and remind myself that before the book was printed, it was my publisher who said: "I've found the name of this book; I think it's "A Divided Heart". The Divided Heart" is a group exhibition abo...

Writing, art, motherhood and everything in between. Monday, August 25, 2014. The art of learned selfishness. I still have a strong memory of the day a lecturer stood in front of my art history tutorial to declare that, to date, there had been no great women artists. But I was also genuinely troubled by the question. Are there really no great women artists? What makes an artist "great", anyway? Or, more to the point, what enables an artist to become great? I began doing some research about the lives of th...

Writing, art, motherhood and everything in between. Saturday, January 31, 2015. In the spirit of full disclosure: why money matters when it comes to art. I have always enjoyed the company of people who are willing to be candid.
