STUDIUM MUSE: CHLOE BORICH

Tell us a bit about yourself..

I'm a writer, emerging curator, and Gallery Assistant at a Sydney-based gallery, Jerico Contemporary. I spend my spare time reading, visiting exhibitions, swimming in the ocean, and seeking out good produce, food, coffee and wine. 

Cats or dogs?

For me, it's impossible to choose.
 
Star sign?

Libra
 
Favourite song of all time?

Music is so important to me and I love nothing more than creating numerous Spotify playlists, so this is a difficult question. But there's one song that has remained a favourite from my childhood, 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone' by The Temptations. When I was little, I used to ride on my rocking horse to it in front of my dad's jukebox—which is still spinning records today.  

What does beauty mean to you?

To me, beauty is about self respect. It's about feeling present and grateful for your body, to embrace, thank and nurture every freckle, curve and crease.

Favourite beauty tool &/ or product?

My jade roller, fresh out of the fridge, paired with Soothe Facial Oil. 

Self care tips or tricks...

Invest in alone time and move your body. I like to listen to podcasts on long morning and evening walks. Other times I take myself out to coffee and buy myself a book. At home, yoga makes me feel strong in my body, while a bath with a few drops of clary sage essential oil restores me in almost every way. 

What things bring you joy?  (activities/books/songs/food)

Enjoying good wine with good company. Strong tasting cheeses. Dancing to 'It's My House' by Diana Ross. Spotting a horse out of a car window. Phone calls with my friends and twin sister Holly, who live interstate. Cooking with my boyfriend Julian. Spending time by the sea. Going home to the hills. 

Favourite meal to cook for others

Either Mexican bean and sweet potato enchiladas, or green pasta, which is made up of chilli, garlic, broccoli, zucchini, peas and homemade pesto.  

Favourite meal to have cooked for you

Freshly caught fish, cooked simply with lemon and olive oil or nestled in a corn tortilla. 

Best advice you’ve ever received?

The only constant is change. 

Value your craft.

Where can we find more of your work?
