Show Notes
This episode is for the foodies. Amanda sits down for a panel discussion on Food Styling - a photographer, a food stylist and an interior designer are the quintessential Melbourne food culture creatives. So of course we got the tea on their favourite spots in Melbourne. Three very different, very inspiring paths all lead Interior Designer Lucienne Hemingway, Photographer Marcel Aucar and Food Stylist & Writer Leesa O’Rielly to working with food. All three have had incredible mentors through their careers that have taught them to have trust, confidence and why speaking up at the right moment can change a career. They discuss how to make food look good, the research that goes into a food styling shoot and how to pick the perfect plate for the dish. This group are the quiet achievers; their work usually does the talking... but today we are shining a light on them.

In this episode Peter King from Peter King Studio and Amanda Henderson take a deep dive into the creative processes of an exhibition designer. Sitting at the edge of the design world, the exhibition design process requires a detailed level of subject research, collaboration with curators and conservators that enables a new level of expression of the artists’ story. Peter describes the spatial and visual elements that bring impact and nuance to every exhibition experience. Peter and Amanda met whilst working together on the inaugural NGV Gala in 2017 and have been comparing notes ever since. Studio Peter King is a design practice specialised in creating exhibitions and related projects for arts and cultural organisations. Working in design, Peter has undertaken projects within galleries, museums, libraries and other cultural spaces including the National Gallery of Victoria, State Library Victoria, Museums Victoria, RISING festival, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Bendigo Art Gallery and more. Some of Peter’s recent projects have included exhibitions presenting a diverse range of material - from ancient Egyptian antiquities through to AI, robotics and of course fashion.
