Brand Tas

"I started to realise a hunger for my own practice. I'd always felt this disconnect around culture, and then when I tapped into this creative space, I felt like I found a connection."

"It's so easy for work in that contemporary space to become alienating, so we aim to make our work generous and welcoming. When you rock up to a ROOKE show, you are going to be welcomed with open arms. No matter who you are."

"I believe we need to move away from factory farming, and towards more sustainable and responsible food systems. I see hemp as an exciting planet-based alternative."

"My dream job was always to be a curator at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG)."

"It’s nice to know I make a really good product, with really good people, with good ingredients people love. I have to hold on to that specialness."
