Elliat Rich

A tour of Elliat Rich’s Alice Springs studio includes glimpses of kangaroos roaming around outside, the building enveloped by the unmistakable light and rich colour palette of Central Australia. Her morning route to work is to “cross the river, follow the creek and cross the highway.” But despite the pastiche of Australian tropes in the environment where Rich lives and works, the decision to situate her practice in a regional location is anything but predictable. “Alice Springs has never not delivered,” Rich exclaims by way of justifying the choice.
