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: Jaci Foti-Lowe
33/62. Paolo Mendes da Rocha gifted me a rock he found 40 years earlier. It had a small clay blemish that he duplicated to reveal an owl. When he passed away, my daughter, then 5, appeared with a rock. Opposite colour. Smaller but she understood Paolo’s rock. She had added some green dots. An owl.
