Part of The Things We Keep, a photographic exhibition presented at The Front Room Gallery for Melbourne Design Week 2026.
Each artwork began with a personal object belonging to a creative, collector, designer, artist, or maker from across Australia. These objects were then handed to photographers, not simply to be documented, but interpreted - transforming private possessions into shared artworks shaped by memory, atmosphere, and emotional response.
Presented as a limited edition of 20, each A3 artwork is printed in Melbourne on fine art cotton rag paper as part of an exclusive companion release available through The Hub General Store. Artwork printing leadtime up to 1 week.
Photographer: Mish Dutkova
Creative / Collector: Bobby Clark
10/62. My favourite check mug by The Soda Fountain aka Sam M. I love Sam’s work, I froth over grid repetition. “You spent how much on a mug?”’. Dude, it’s art you drink out of. I hope I never break it. It’s art. It’s so beautiful. I try to keep it for display to make my kitchen look nice but I also love to ‘treat’ myself to my morning coffee from my fancy mug because life is for living.
