Interview with German Science Journal Wissenschafts Kommunikation about Bohie’s environmentally charged public mural art in conversation with communication scholars Blake Thompson and Dr Anna-Sophie Jürgens from the Australian National University’s Centre for the Public Awareness of Science.

“BOHIE & Smalls on the Mustard Flats Podcast EP30 Artists @bohie & @iwritesmalls join us in the flats to talk about the power of paint, toxic behaviour and the gender experience in the street art world. We discuss the RIP Toxic Masculinity piece that was removed from Surface Festival last week and the Ash Barty mural that served up a social media storm. After travelling Europe and North America while developing her skills as a traditional sign writer, Bohie brought her arts practice home to Braidwood to live and work off the grid in 2018. With origins in snowboard and skate culture and influenced by the natural world her art hits with impact and colour whatever surface it falls. Also running Red Hat Design Co with friend of the show Faith Kerehona they aim to challenge archaic social constructs through their work. Having failed art class in high school James Smalls has come a long way painting around the country and working with brands like Nike, Under Armour, Rebel Sport. He is a master of the aerosol, heavily influenced by hip hop, sport, graffiti and tattooing. Great to have Smalls back in his hometown where his artistic journey began on walls at home with crayon and on the school desks with sharpies. Both artists are inspiring the next generation of creators through workshops and youth programs and their work aims to inform and better the community. This episode does exactly that with a vulnerable and open convo that left us inspired. Enjoy.”

I loved the childlike sense of scale in Mexico City - the gods with their immensity and larger than life animalística. Thick, strong women curled up with mere humans barely reaching foot high, they took up space. They walked naked and unafraid. Part stone, part temple, worshipped and enamoured. Respected. Why would a woman apologize for who she is? Why would she starve herself or starve her satiation? Why would she smother her sensuality? Or subdue her sexuality? These are her magic powers. She is immense. 

I’m very excited to announce that I am relocating my business base to Geelong, Victoria!

While this doesn’t mean I can’t continue to serve my outstanding network of exceptional clients in Canberra and NSW, it does open me up to a broader market across Victoria and beyond!!

I’m moving close to an airport, and am always up for a trip interstate to bring our vision to light.

In connection with the murals I've created at the National Museum of Australia for their exhibition titled "Riding the Olympic Wave; Breakthrough Sports", I'll be running school holiday programs at the National Museum of Australia during the July mid semester break.
