RAGE BE COMES HER – Terri Russell Barker
Host Ilona Nelson interviews local artist and psychologist Terri Russell Barker on The Artier Side about growing up in Melbourne’s West, then leaving and returning. Barker describes always identifying as an artist, but shifting into visual communications and corporate design, then reconnecting with her personal practice around 2016 through women’s group exhibitions and The Art Room (TAR). She discusses vulnerability, the support of creative community, and evolving from skill-building in drawing and painting into clay, sculpture, video, and photography. Her first solo exhibition, “Rage Be Comes Her,” explores women’s anger, embodiment, and feminism, informed by research and her psychology work, and invites audiences to engage with discomfort and speak about what makes them angry. The show runs at Parallel Projects, Footscray, 18 July–21 August 2026, with an artist talk 15 August.
Walking around Newport Lakes with Maarten, from birds to diamonds
In this episode we start at the middle path of the north part of the lakes, walk down a little path that leads to the small path to the amphitheater, we end up on the path above the waterfall, past the basin that meant to feed the water fall back to the carpark. We walk about birds, cliffs, plants, what things looked like when Maarten first started, birds and a fun story about diamonds and money. Enjoy!
