Cute Tomb

Using keepsake letters to friends from my school days as inspiration, this solo exhibition held at Saint Cloche Gallery in November, 2020 was a representation of salvaged memories and a journey of catharsis.

In this body of work, letters are mummified and incorporated into some of the works as a process of purification. Glittery mixed-media wall sculptures are textural, brightly adorned and embellished shrines, visually representing aspects of identity with some facets revealed and laid bare or hidden, covered and concealed. This exhibition culminated in a 24 hour Live Drawing Session performed at the Art Series ‘Fantauzzo’ hotel in Brisbane.

Plaster and foil vessels held the symbolic power of our past selves, identities, friendships, relationships.
