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.

49/62. My sister and I often visited vintage stores across Melbourne, searching for treasures. For almost two years, we admired these glass vessels hidden high on a shelf at one of my favourite bazaars. I thought they were beautiful, but beyond my budget. After finally saving enough to buy them, I told my sister I was going to bring them home, only to discover they were gone. Months later, she gave them to me as a birthday present. She had bought them for me all along and I’ve treasured them ever since.
