Lately, Victoria Rose Richards has taken a liking to spatial harmony. In the form of crop circles, classical gardens, and rice terrace steps, the South West England-based artist crafts striking views from above guided by geometric shapes.

“I find symmetry very comforting and calming… it scratches an itch in my brain,” Richards shares. While previous works were driven by meandering lines and random organic shapes, the artist adjusted her process for her most recent pieces. “I had to use exact measurements with a ruler to draw it out which is quite alien for me in my work!,” she says.

Following a radial approach, Richards experimented with starting from the center of circular or ovoid embroidery hoops and working her way outward, playing with different shapes and paths. Each aerial landscape is then stitched with meticulous detail, from single lines of thread mimicking bridges to a gold cog inserted at the heart of a teeming garden to resemble a fountain.

Richards is looking forward to creating more winter pieces as the cold weather settles in and is also working on a larger project still under wraps. Keep an eye on the artist’s Instagram for updates, and see her website for more.

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

The Australian Government is starting consultation on sustainable investment product labelling, which is designed to give investors more confidence to put more capital to work in sustainable products.

The federal government said the release of this paper is a key step in implementing its Sustainable Finance Roadmap — designed to help mobilise the capital required for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower, modernising the financial markets and maximising the economic opportunities from net zero.

This consultation paper seeks views from investors, companies and the broader community on a framework for sustainable investment product labels.

These labels are designed to help investors and consumers identify, compare and make informed decisions about sustainable investment products to understand what ‘sustainable’, ‘green’ or similar words mean when they’re applied to financial products.

The government said a more robust and clear product-labelling framework will help investors and consumers invest in sustainable products with confidence and help tackle greenwashing.

This phase of consultation will run from 18 July to 29 August and help the government refine its design principles for the framework.

The consultation paper is available on the Treasury consultation hub.
