Art by Australians Trent Jansen, Tanya Singer and Errol Evans on display at London’s Mint Gallery and soon at Design Miami 2024

It’s a long way from the dirt tracks of Railway Bore in the remote desert of northern South Australia to the affluent enclave of Marylebone in west London. And yet, recently on display at Mint Gallery, known for finely crafted, limited-edition furniture, were a sideboard, armoire and low chairs that were carved to evoke the Australian outback.
