Episode notes
Chris T. Wilson is a landscape painter based in Queenstown, Tasmania, who now works exclusively using raw materials collected from the hills and mountains surrounding the West Coast. Although Chris and Emmalie had bumped into each other a few times around town, there was no way of knowing, prior to sitting down together, what a truly fascinating person Chris is. Chris visited Emmalie on a cold and rainy day in August to sip tea and talk. Chris explores what it was like for so many growing up on the West and North-West Coast of Tasmania, the unparalleled uniqueness of the geography and geology of the West Coat, carving a life for oneself, the rich abundance the land provides, going bush and life living in her delightful caravan.
