Description
The presence of nature looms large and city skylines are low on this island…
From restored historical residences to contemporary, experimental masterpieces, the Tasmanian landscape is dotted with spectacular and innovative homes.
Now, their inhabitants reveal how they stumbled upon their island properties. They share their journeys to discovering rich, lesser-known Tasmanian treasures, acknowledging its dark history, and embracing an ever-so-slightly ‘off the grid’ lifestyle.
Tasmania Living observes slow, sustainable living in Australia’s southernmost region, showcasing architectural flair, reverence to style and design, passion for local community, and the integration of history and culture in contemporary homemaking practices.
Marita Bullock and Joan-Maree Hargreaves breathe new life into Australia’s southern island, as they celebrate the homeowners that have transformed the humble Tasmanian residence into a visual feast for readers – and visitors – alike.
Marita Bullock has worked as an academic and secondary school teacher across the fields of Cultural Studies, Film, Art and Literature, most recently at the University of Sydney. She has published numerous articles on art and the visualisation of 'difference', and her academic book - Memory Fragments: Visualising Difference in Australian History - investigates the relationship between object fragments and cultural memory in Australian art, museums and culture.
Joan-Maree Hargreaves produces videos and writes articles about people and places. As well as a videographer and journalist, she works as a multi-platform producer, project manager and magazine editor.
She's driven by a desire to tell stories about 'real' life in a visually captivating and unexpected way and has a special interest in social justice and representations of diversity.
Joan-Maree Hargreaves writes for various publications including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun Herald, Artichoke, Home Beautiful, D*Hub, and Design Quarterly.
