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: Sandra Foti
52/62. These cards belonged to my Nonno Pietro and are nearly 80 years old. I spent hours playing Briscola with him as a child. After he died, my dad kept the cards and we continued the tradition together. When my son was born, my dad passed them on to me so I could teach him too. My son is now seventeen and we play almost every night. As we play, we tell stories about Nonno and my dad, who has also passed away. Of all the Italian cards I own, none feel quite the same as these.
