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.

62/62. I paint small mementos to capture my travels and natural finds. Souvenirs of sorts. This pocket-sized watercolour case travels everywhere with me, accompanied by small A5 pieces of handmade paper and very fine brushes. The paint colours change depending on where I am going, but the tins themselves have travelled around the world many times and witnessed some wonderful places. I like the idea that the object quietly records the journey alongside me, becoming marked by movement, memory, and repeated use over time.
