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: Sian Fay

60/62. I made this essential tool with both metric and imperial measurements. I believe everything can be beautiful, even the most functional objects, and that appreciation can come simply through holding something well made. It could be considered mundane, yet this one makes me smile. I have many of them scattered through my studio and home, tucked into bags, drawers, and across worktables, always waiting to be useful. I encased the tape in leather with hand stitching that patinas over time, with my initials embedded into it like a maker’s hallmark.
