Ellen Dahl grew up in the Arctic North of Norway and is now living and working on Gadigal Country in Sydney. We talk about her recent work that questions whether the landscapes in lutruwita, Tasmania, and Svalbard, north of the Arctic Circle share something in common. Do the similarities and differences offer another way of understanding how we see and what  feel about the world?

Zoe Grey shares her unique perspective on what it was like growing up surrounded by the powerful forces of nature, from the relentless Southern Ocean waves to the isolation of rural life. She discusses how surfing has not only been a way of life but also a crucial part of her identity, deeply intertwined with her art. We also explore her recent residency in Svalbard, near the Arctic, comparing the raw, rugged environments of Tasmania and the far north.
