WellBeing Wild

I’ve been noticing the tensions of life lately and, in particular, the tensions of motherhood. As I navigate this new identity, juggling full-time work with full-time mumming (let’s be honest, parenting is roundthe-clock care), these tensions are sho

We received so many beautiful images and kind words about WILD 12, a crowd favourite. A decade or so ago, I borrowed the school camera to document the demolition of Tallawarra power station and fell in love with photography. If that 16-year-old who c

A big part of me wishes I hadn’t gone to Collegiate, for obvious reasons. And I feel embarrassed about having even gone there in the first place, in a way. Not because I am not grateful for the opportunity or some of the lasting friendships and great

We human beings are very social creatures. As a social species, our development in childhood and throughout our lives unfolds within the context of close relationships with others, particularly our early relationships with our caregivers. The special

Stay at home. That was the mantra parroted by hashtags and health officials during the Covid-19 pandemic. For months at a time, many of us were confined to our homes, physically distanced and discouraged from any sort of social gathering. It would be

When and how did you love for art and creating illustrations first begin? I grew up in a creative and artistic household, but my interest in art and drawing didn’t come until my early 20s. In 2019, I bought myself a tablet and started drawing digital

For an estimated one in 100 women, being autistic is an inextricable part of life and identity. As natural as breathing. But in the mainstream, neurotypical world, the very existence of adult autistic women has only recently been acknowledged and rep

The adage “mum knows best” is used often by pregnancy health specialists and for good reason: no one knows your body or your baby quite like you do. That said, we live in a fast-paced world in which there’s a plethora of facts and advice at our finge

There’s something deliciously indulgent about the rich, smooth sensation of cream cheese. Mascarpone takes this experience to another level, with its perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavour and a silky, buttery texture that just melts in your mout

Dearest Zo, First of all, I don’t care what anyone says: I think those tracksuit pants look lovely. I like how you’ve teamed them with a knit (and a bra! Fancy!), so that people will take you seriously. Now. How are you? I gather from the tears and t

Octafluorocyclobutane, polyethylene glycol and flavoxanthin — these probably don’t ring a bell, but you may be unwittingly eating them. They are just three of the 350 food additivities used in the food industry. Food additives are used for a variety

Long live the fritter. Could there be a more forgiving and useful trick up your sleeve? When in doubt, make fritters. When the fridge needs a clear-out, make fritters. When the veggie patch is looking like it could do with a tidy-up, make fritters. H

We’re all naturally curious to try the latest craze. Often our exploits are a passing exploration driven by peer pressure and promotions. However, the rising popularity of vapes has people concerned. The issue is so serious that some schools are warn

We all know the importance of making a great first impression, but did you know the first thing we are judged on is often our shoes? Our footwear can reveal our age, social status, income bracket and even our political ideology. Think about it: Birke

A while ago, a friend went on a dinner date with a man she met on Tinder. His looks lived up to his profile picture, they had common interests, he was charming, they shared a few laughs. Everything went swimmingly. More dates followed. They continued

I haven’t seen my therapist IRL for almost three years and I know I’m not the only one taking my sessions from the couch. A small silver lining to months of stay-at-home orders was moving traditionally in-person activities to online spaces. Book club

When I hear the words “capsule wardrobe” I think beige and black basics in sleek, timeless shapes that are entirely functional, but maybe a bit … boring. If you’re a maximalist magpie like me, a lover of colour, pattern and a “more is more” aesthetic

How do you start your day? I’ve always been an early riser, for as long as I can remember. My body doesn’t really understand how to sleep in. I love the early morning when it’s quiet, before sunrise, then those moments when the birds start their morn

As a child in Hong Kong, Billy Ho remembers being surrounded by bonsai trees. They would feature in the backdrop of movies and television dramas, and in local restaurants he would visit with his family. At the time, he was more preoccupied with playi

How and when did you first get into art? What initially drew you to landscape painting? I remember drawing as a child; this continued into adult life when my folks encouraged me to study art. I began painting the landscape in the final year of a Bach

How did you first get into making art? I discovered a passion for painting from a young age. It allowed me to express my emotions directly on canvas. I was about nine years old when I won the Saturday Disney Art prize, which was a big highlight of my

Reading is usually considered a solitary endeavour, but book groups transform it into a community-focused activity. When I first joined a book group at Avid Reader in Brisbane’s West End, I was hoping to make new friends and broaden my reading horizo

Lovers of art will be familiar with an artwork’s ability to transport you to another world. The most gifted artists allow you to surrender your reality completely and go on an imaginative journey. This is the talent of resin artist Jeremy KAY, who em
