Making dreams come true: A conversation with visual artist Maree Clarke How important is it to visualise your work coming to life? How well do you know your self, your history and your place in the world? Tai and Maree get pretty heavy and emotional in an electric conversation about making contemporary work from loaded memories and histories. They talk about how important it is to avoid being put in a box, seize opportunities and be true to your self and your people. Maree talks about how she uses her work to explore and tell stories of grief, belonging and perhaps most important of all, healing. Photograph: James Henry
