• "David Throsby, Katya Petetskaya (2024) Artists as Workers: An Economic Study of Professional Artists in Australia, Creative Australia, 2024."
  "Artists as Workers: An Economic Study of Professional Artists in Australia, by David Throsby and Katya Petetskaya, is the seventh in a landmark study, carried out independently over the last four decades by Professor Throsby and colleagues at Macquarie University, with support from Creative Australia (previously the Australia Council for the Arts). Conducted at roughly six–year intervals, the series tracks the working conditions of artists, providing information about their artistic practice, income, career development and pathways, and their broader working lives. The latest survey was in the field late 2022 and early 2023 and examines activity in the 2021-22 financial year. This edition therefore captures the conditions for artists in the wake of COVID-19 and coincides with the Australian Government’s January 2023 announcement of its five-year national cultural policy Revive: A place for every story, a story for every place."

• "Tutti Arts - Mouth Music - Program"
  Tutti Arts 'Mouth Music' 2006 Program - reads, in part "Jem has recently made a big decision, and Mouth Music is his story. Because Jem is non-verbal, the idea of speaking and not being heard is a major theme. Jem has some important things he wants to say to the world, not least that we must look after the earth and also learn a thing or two about looking after each other. Mouth Music has involved Tutti in the very roots of vocal music-making and has strong emotional resonance for anyone concerned about the voice of the individual and the state of the world. It has been a pleasure to develop this very different new work with Jem and poets.“

Our experience will always be shared, our knowledge passed on and our studio, bound by creativity, integrity and generosity in equal measure."
