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.

61/62. I am a maker with many interests. They range from bookbinding, leatherwork, painting, making paint and ink, collecting, natural fragrance, blacksmithing, photography, and stitching. There is rarely a craft that does not capture my attention for long. With that curiosity comes collecting the tools needed for each process. I search for them in markets, art supply stores, and antique shops, always drawn to tools crafted from natural materials. This vintage Japanese bone folder, used to crease, fold, and tear paper, is made from antique bone and carries a beautiful sense of age and use.
