Anne Wallace was born in Brisbane in 1970 and currently lives in Melbourne. She completed a Bachelor of Arts at the Queensland University of Technology in 1990. Between 1994 and 1996, Anne completed a Masters of Art at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Her paintings portray scenes of faint familiarity, evoking feelings of nostalgic longing, feelings which are unsettled by the eerie nonchalance of the subjects and their set-like surrounds. Over time Alice has developed a unique style and practice creating paintings that resemble film stills, exploring themes of love, anxiety, childhood and the search for identity. She depicts scenes that capture a moment in time where something is about to happen or has just happened. It’s this moment of tension along with the combination of the real and the unreal in Alice’s paintings that make them both compelling and unnerving. Her work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Queensland, National Gallery of Victoria.

What kind of world do the oligarchs have in mind for us? i bet their vision of what our society should look like is not one most people on the left or right would like to see. and yet, unless unchecked, it could well be the world we, and particularly our children will inhabit. We need to build biodiversity considerations into trade and infrastructure decisions, the way that health or human rights are built into every aspect of social and economic decision-making. Governments should support communities to create new, participatory forms of economic activity that can tackle social inequality while also restoring planetary health.
