Jerico and Anouk

Jerico Tracy is a woman with a mind like a library. Its shelves are adorned with a seemingly endless offering of books on artists and their origins, where pages are marked with reference to the world around her in keen observation of fashion, architecture and design. In conversation, Jerico’s tacit knowledge never fails to shine through. She is both engaging and outspoken, offering up her perspective with a genuine and energetic clarity that feels rare to come by in an industry that tends to rely on performative façades. In contrast to this sphere she revolves in, Jerico is always willing to share. This is reflected in her career as director and curator of her eponymous Sydney-based gallery, Jerico Contemporary, where she pairs emerging artists with emerging collectors. Recently, she has also assumed the role as mother to her baby daughter, Anouk. Here, we spend a few minutes in conversation with Jerico about this special new venture.
