The Future Histories Project
The Future Histories Project is a compulsive drive to collect, collate and prolong the life of objects which have reached the end of their useful existence.
Artist Leonie Leivenzon revives and reinterprets items discarded within books donated to op shops.

Some amazing work at De Young museum by artist Kehinde Wiley. Their work is technically amazing while also conveying a real emotional connection with the subject matter
"American artist Kehinde Wiley’s new body of paintings and sculptures confronts the silence surrounding systemic violence against Black people through the visual language of the fallen figure"

Last week to see Unremembered Histories . Finishes February 12 😃

'Unremembered Histories' on until 12 February with writing by
Photographs document evidence of having been there, of the existence of a moment. What happens, however, once the person whose moment is being captured is no longer there? Do the images still hold their memories, or do they become merely another object to be discarded?
These are some of the questions raised by Unremembered Histories, which involves collecting abandoned imagery such as VHS tapes, slides, and photographic prints, altering the material, and merging them with household objects and other familiar forms

My next show called 'Unremembered Histories' opens soon at Linden New Art Project Space. The installation examines what happens to photos and similar ephemera once they are no longer connected to the people whose memories they hold, with writing by Bea Rubio-Gabriel
Opening night is Thursday 12 January 6pm to 8pm at 26 Acland Street St Kilda. The project space is at the back of the building. The exhibition runs until 12 February and the gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm. I'd love to see you there 😃

Details of my painted postcard work from the exhibition FLOW curated by
It was an amazing and exhausting experimental experience of a constantly changing exhibition. It really challenged me in that I had to accept that there were days when things were very much in flux and not necessarily looking at their best. Yet visitors still got to see the show at these moments and perhaps left thinking that this was all there was to it. Letting go of perfectionism and control....

Flow begins with water. With the oceans, rivers, and waterways which connect us. Seldom understood these days, though in the beginning we would follow them like the veins of the earth. Understanding innately and intimately that this is where life Is sustained, but that this is also a place of delicate balance.
