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.

57/62. This small jade vessel is one of a pair found by my friend Rosetta in the Myrtleford Op Shop. Because it was a gift from her, I’m reminded of our times travelling together and so many other shared experiences over many years. I know little about the origins or purpose of this vessel except that it’s Chinese and turned from jade. I particularly enjoy the simplicity of its form and diminutive scale.
