Women in the arts pervades our September/October issue, from our cover artist Cate Consandine talking about the female gaze, to Julie Rrap pushing the boundaries of how womens’ bodies are depicted and interpreted, to an exhibition of four Aboriginal women artists showing the power of matriarchal bonds and sisterhood. We visit Sarah Contos’s studio, chronicle Lindy Lee’s journey creating her most magnificent work yet, and explore Vera Möller’s love of marine life. And even though women outnumber men in the arts by two-to-one, gender inequities remain rife—women love the art world, notes writer Neha Kale, but does the art world love women?
