Tim Winton explores the Australian landscape and Lucienne Rickard brings audiences to tears

The Art Show - A podcast by ABC listen - Wednesdays

Tim Winton is one of Australia's greatest writers, but this year he found himself at the centre of the art world when Laura Jones' portrait took out the Archibald Prize. From his earliest experiences in a gallery to some of the earliest examples of art in Australia, Winton shares the work that's helped to shape his own keen observations of nature and our own place in it. Two guards from the Art Gallery of NSW explain what it takes to keep the work safe and introduce us to their own favourite paintings. And Lucienne Rickard discusses her new durational work, Wreck, and why she's chosen to erase her own art, leaving only ghostly shadows behind.
