Since COVID struck, veteran production designer Scott Bird has been sheltering in his large rambling house stuffed with his collections. This is not eccentric, even though he hunts for artefacts as varied as historic Australian pottery and Danish stainless steel, along with books on drawing, on surfaces, on 1940’s photography and the drafting work for other film sets.
‘It’s only now as I as I get older, I realise that some of the process work for achieving it can be incredibly beautiful as well,’ he says.
