Several military-grade rocket launchers stolen from a military base decades ago remain missing. A short video, exclusively obtained by the ABC, purports to show someone in possession of the rocket launchers.

Moksha Richards is an artist working in illustration, painting, sculpture and mixed media. Hailing from the Northern Rivers, NSW, Richards lived in Melbourne for several years before relocating to Berlin in July 2023. Soon after we became friends, I was immediately impressed by the accuracy and depth of her interrogative work. Several weeks ago, Richards and I spoke extensively over the phone, and this interview is a concision (of sorts) of our dialogue.

Riley Orange: Have you exhibited at Backwoods Gallery before? Josh Robins: I’ve been in a couple of group shows here. One straight out of lockdown. It was a show of 300 small typographic pieces that related to our experience at that time. RO: When I was looking through your work, I wondered about your relationship with memory.

In central Victoria’s notorious Bar Merenda, Wu-Tang Clan’s 36 Chambers spins as winemaker Joshua Cooper nods along to Protect Ya Neck. Behind the counter, barman Andy Ainsworth uncorks a bottle before slinging two burgundy glasses across the table. They both peer into their glasses, hunting with their senses for the feel of a place they're trying to see.
