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.

56/62. In my mid-twenties I travelled to Bali when it was a less chaotic destination. I discovered this bronze Buddha head in an obscure shop but have no recollection of exactly where in Bali. The bronze head reminds me of travelling throughout Southeast Asia as a young woman and the excitement and newness of travel. I wrapped the Buddha head in sarongs and carried it in my backpack for several weeks.
