Opening Night: Tuesday 17 February 2026, 5-7pm
Exhibition runs: 17 - 28 February 2026
Whispers Woven in Water, Wings & Wildflowers is an immersive art installation by Australian visual storyteller Pam Davison, presented in collaboration with couture designer Linda Britten. Combining fine art photography, couture garments, sound, and spatial design, the exhibition explores memory as something lived, embodied, and continually shaping the present.
Extending beyond the frame, the installation transforms still images into sculptural garments. Davison’s photographs are printed onto fabric, deconstructed, and reassembled into couture gowns — allowing memory to move, fold, and breathe. The result is a layered experience that dissolves the boundaries between image, body, and lived experience.
Set within a dreamlike garden environment, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how memory is formed, distorted, preserved, and worn. Sensory cues — water, birdsong, floral forms, and sound — guide audiences through a contemplative space where perception slows and attention deepens.
Across Saturdays during the exhibition, visitors are invited to engage more deeply through a series of intimate artist-led experiences, offering insight into the making of the work, the collaboration between photography and couture, and the role of memory, material, and transformation.
