Welcome to Sadie Chandler — House Rules, a book that chronicles the life and work of Australian artist Sadie Chandler. Arranged as an instruction manual, it unfolds across 13 chapters—each a rule that shapes Chandler’s approach to art and life. This 192-page guidebook embraces the ridiculous and reflects on the complexities of understanding (and misunderstanding) the artist’s interests and influences. Featuring images of over 100 paintings, sculptures, wallpaper works, personal anecdotes, and an essay by Eve Sullivan, Sadie Chandler — House Rules reveals the code of Chandler’s practice. Readers are invited to stay, play, and follow the rules.
