I was introduced to the work of Carly Spooner via the incredible installations, aka alternate universes, Carly worked on with Rone.
Each space I walked into over the span of a few years was different to the last – yet the attention to detail, the transportive magic injected each time – was consistent.
When I saw the Time exhibition, I shared some of the images on my IG, tagged Rone’s Set Designer + Decorator, collaborator Carly Spooner, and as with all modern connections – a conversation was started via DM.
As it happens, we’d attended RMIT studying design, at the same time. We’ve continued to chat sporadically over the years, I’ve hired props + done shoots in Carly + business partner, Tamara Maynes, space The Establishment Studios (now closed) and more recently chatted over all things life : the evolution of a career, the speed of ‘content’ + the changing landscape of being a creative who values knowledge + their craft.
This is the second in our series of Human Conversations - it’s a pleasure to be sharing Carly’s story. This is a snippet of our chat + you can read the full interview on The SB Journal, link in bio.
