Leanne Culy - Artist

Gosia Piątek founded Kowtow twenty years ago on a single fibre, Fairtrade organic cotton, with clothes designed to go back to the earth without harm. Alice Lines catches up with her at the Kowtow workroom in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, where they talk about trusting a team to carry the business and why Kowtow’s clothes are made to be lived in. On a drive along the harbour, Gosia is candid about growing an ethical brand in an industry that wants more, faster, and what home means when life is split between two hemispheres. Made in partnership with Lexus New Zealand.

Jade Townsend paints in her kitchen, in the hours around her two sons. Alice Lines meets Jade among the works for her first Australian show, then they take a drive to Season, the gallery she co-directs. She talks about what led to a life in art, how running Season feeds the painting and what it takes to hold it all. Made in partnership with Lexus.

In conversation with Alice, artist Leanne Culy reflects on a creative life led by instinct, moving between art, design and ceramics, embracing experimentation and learning when to say no. Brought to you by Lexus.
