Another bright sunny day with not a cloud in the sky: I certainly picked the right time to visit MR. I finally got to visit the Open Studio of Emily Jackson, whose work had impressed me in the brochure. She lives close to the centre of MR, but in a back street verging onto woodland. I asked her lots of questions which she was happy to answer. Originally from Lincoln in the UK, she trained in graphic design in Kent before coming out to Australia. Much of her work is in collographs; she collects material from the wild (such as seaweed or seeds) and glues it onto hardboard which is then used in printing.
