Sydney-based artist Julia Gutman is a first-time Archibald Prize finalist and one of the youngest winners in the history of the prize.
Gutman is a multi-disciplinary artist who reuses found textiles to produce painted ‘patchworks’ that merge personal and collective histories to explore themes of femininity, intimacy and memory.
Her winning portrait features singer-songwriter Montaigne, who has become an important figure on the Australian indie music scene.
'I’m so grateful to be working at a time when young female voices are heard,’ says Gutman.

Wind turbine blades are typically made of several layers of glass or carbon fibre infused with a liquid plastic resin or epoxy. This creates a composite material that is strong and durable - as well as challenging to recycle. Researchers at Aarhus University in Denmark have successfully conducted a proof-of-concept chemical recycling experiment during which they were able to "break down the epoxy material to recover both the plastic’s building blocks and the glass fibres inside without damaging either." https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/05/02/1072520/how-chemists-could-give-new-life-to-old-wind-turbine-blades/
