For over two decades, Dr Natasha Edwards has turned the Gold Coast coastline into an open-air gallery through SWELL Sculpture Festival — growing it from 23 sculptures and 6,000 visitors in 2003 to a major event drawing over 100,000 people today. In this interview, she reflects on her sailing-shaped connection to the ocean, the challenges of leading ambitious public art projects, and her vision for SWELL's next decade.

I had the pleasure of chatting with the remarkable Robyn Mundy in Salamanca Square, Hobart. Read my interview with her about her reading and writing life, and her latest book Cold Coast.
