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

11/62. I found these in a church charity shop. I love this particular one, the old ladies are so into all the donations. These wee silk knickers were in a bag full of Barbie clothes handmade by a lady in the 60’s. They came with the original magazine, which included tiny sewing patterns and her hand written notes. I gave the collection and the book to my friend’s daughter but kept the tiny knickers. I couldn’t part with them. Now they live with my collection of amazing weird things.
