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: Caroline McCredie
Creative / Collector: Beci Orpin
8/62. My collections often feature things from my childhood, nostalgia plays a big part in my work. This doll isn’t from my childhood, but i had one just like it growing up, and visiting China when I was 12, which was highly influential on me. I can’t remember where i found this, but it brought back the same feelings I had as child - the preciousness of the perfect shoes and outfit, the buns and the blunt fringe. It still feels so nice to own this treasure.
