I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the country on which I live and work and their connections to the land. I pay my respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Indigenous peoples today.

Things that shouldn’t last

28 January - 12 February 2023
Brunswick Street Gallery



Things that shouldn’t last presented an ongoing exploration into how the narrative of a moment shifts once it has been translated into an object. Where a painting reflects the contemplation of many hours – a instant film frame captures a second. Here they ruminate on memory and the experience of intimacy.

Things that shouldn’t last was supported by the Australian Government’s Arts and Cultural Development Program, Regional Arts Australia and Regional Arts Victoria.
