SOLO EXHIBITION Belonging: Memory and Loss

Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts

408 Flinders Street, Townsville

7 July—13 August 2023

As someone who has moved home 26 times, I have explored the human need for belonging, home, and the implications of losing it. I delved into the housing crisis and the significance of our possessions that we carry around with us. I have reflected on the memories attached to our belongings and what is truly necessary to remember a loss.

In this solo exhibition, I showcase sculptures and jewellery which I have created using media such as reclaimed parquetry from a flooded Townsville home, reclaimed keys, and repurposed anodised aluminium canisters.
