About our cover
For the cover of our Waite 100 special
edition of Lumen, we wanted to illustrate
the difficulty of encapsulating a century of
history into a 64-page magazine – so we
decided to capture that same legacy in a
single glass vase.
Special thanks to Isaac Freeman, who
photographed the cover, and Sky Allen of
Arcadia Aquatic, who arranged the still life
within the vase. Plant matter was grown,
collected and supplied to us with help from
Benjamin McGorm, James Cowley, Jenny
LUMEN
Mortimer, Jonathan Diab, Kate Delaporte,
Lieke van der Hulst, Matthew Denton, Rachel Burton, Rakesh David and Ranjit Das.
Excellence through collaboration has been
a consistent theme in all the stories we’ve
reported for this magazine and aligns with
the vision Peter and Matilda Waite had for
the land they gifted to the University of
Adelaide. The cover, too, was a team effort.
Thanks to everyone involved.
