Wild Thing: A conversation with artist Jenny Watson. What does it mean to be an 'Aussie Artist'? What is wildness and how do we allow it space to thrive? Tai and Jenny share their love of horses and the freedoms they offer to us as young girls whilst taking a close look at the Australian and international gallery scene and the ‘sober business of art'. They talk about the importance of depicting ‘broken women’ and female iconoclasts in paintings and the power of imagining other versions and stories for yourself.
