Introduction Thanks for visiting cathArtsis, I'd love to hear what you think. I find cathArtsis in writing particularly writing about art. I completed an undergraduate degree (B/Arts in Art History and Screen Cultures) at the University of Western Sydney at the end of 2006; and I'm about to embark on a Masters degree in Arts Administration at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney (starting 2008). I work for money at a wonderful place called Robert Menzies College or RMC, a residential college affiliated with Macquarie Uni. I also work (for no monies) on various art projects - the latest being cathArtsis and the inaugural Hawkesbury Film Festival.
Interests Reading, watching film, discussing film, going to art exhibitions, cooking when my husband gets out of the kitchen, eating, much more! etc!
Favorite Movies The story of the last Chrysanthemum, Pieces of April, Chungking Express, that beautiful old film with the seahorses, Wild Strawberries, Gattica, Before Sunrise/After Sunset, Volver again many more...
Favorite Music Very much looking forward to PJ Harvey's new album due out next Monday (23 Sept 2007), Bjork, The Cardigans, Gotye, The Gossip, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Magic Dirt, Morcheeba, Kate Miller-Heidke, Cake, jazz (esp bass), classical etc etc, I can't think with all this pressure to define myself. I also like the music in the cartoon Charlotte's Web.
Favorite Books Anne of Green Gables, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, The Story of Art (Gombrich), Hans Christian Anderson, Peter Pan, Ancient Future, It's not a book but all the articles John McDonald ever wrote.
