“REAL LIFE” – Thin Slizzy, 115 Johnston Street, Collingwood, Victoria. 27th Oct – 23rd Nov 2022

The “Real Life” exhibition includes paintings of urban landscapes that explore some of my favourite places, and still life paintings focused on music-related objects. The collection includes some of Melbourne’s most iconic music venues, as well as other buildings and structures that catch my eye and tell a story. Musical instruments and vintage microphones are depicted in the still life paintings. Despite their reputation for making noise, when placed on an uncluttered background, these objects appear to be captured in a state of stillness, drawing attention to the objects themselves.

“A SENSE OF PLACE” – Bendigo Bank, 282 Lygon St. Carlton, Victoria. 22nd Feb – 18th March, 2022

“A Sense of Place” explores the themes of location, structure, belonging and attachment Our sense of place is not only geographic- it can also be a feeling or perception, often determined by personal experiences and social interactions which in turn create memories and a sense of familiarity. The attachments we make to a particular place can even become part of our identity. Our sense of place was affected during COVID and continues to be affected as we are still experiencing restrictions, social distancing, and, for many of us, a different way of life. This exhibition explores some of my favourite places; places that I have loved spending time in which have created personal memories for me, and others that I look forward to visiting again.
