Ode to Marion is an exhibition of contemporary art paying homage to 20th century architect Marion Mahony Griffin’s often overlooked architectural and artistic legacy.

I am very excited be part of this exhibition, opening at the Incinerator Gallery in Melbourne on Friday, 7 June until Sunday, 28 July.

Ode to Marion brings together contributions from Melbourne’s women artists, writers, speakers, animators and architects, to reflect on Mahony Griffin’s legacy and ensure that the work creative women do is visible in our community today. The exhibition includes work from Tracey Lamb, Noriko Nakamura, Yuria Okamura, Meredith Turnbull and Esther Stewart, curated by Boe-Lin Bastian.

Exhibition: Interweaving Archives

The Interweaving Archives project will be on display at l'Arxiu Comarcal de l'Urgell (ACUR) until 20 July. 

The project explores how my own personal photographic archive intersected with the photographic collections at ACUR over the residency period. One of the outcomes of this project was a limited edition postcard series that features an image from each archive on either side of the card. The lack of descriptive information attributed to the ACUR collections was used as stimulus to explore and construct meaning, through subjective, intuitive responses.

This project was made possible through the Residència de creació Program, Departament de Cultura. Generalitat de Catalunya / Ministry of Culture. Government of Catalonia.
