Inside the Studio

Visit with Caroline Walls

Artist Caroline Walls sits in her studio, surrounded by drawings pinned to the wall and a wood table with books laid out.

Working in a range of materials, Caroline Walls' work is a celebration of the female form, depicting intimacy, sexuality, fertility, and motherhood. Take a tour of her Melbourne studio as she works on her Silhouette series.

I have always been interested in the reduction of form to heighten it's expressive power. In this new collection, that simplification of form has really come to the fore.
