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: Sian Fay

25/62. A bronze sculpture by New Zealand artist Terry Stringer, this dark, meditative piece is a deeply personal 21st birthday gift from a godfather whose passions converge perfectly within its form. Cast in the circular silhouette of a medal, it speaks to his lifelong dedication to collecting both New Zealand art and medallic art — two worlds united in a single, elegant object. Stringer’s signature sculptural relief is visible across its polished surface, with the small inscribed base anchoring the work with quiet authority. A gift that is at once art, symbol, and story — a beautiful beginning to a life well lived.
