Lightning bolts, textiles, painting, Sonic Youth, smiley faces, and sculpture: with her smartphone, Nell has captured her life and art making in her Sydney home.

Read our full profile on Nell, where she talks through rock’n’roll and Buddhism, and using symbols to draw upon the moments where language fails.
