I am delighted to announce that my multimedia exhibition "Leftovers" is opening soon in the projection room @yarrasculpturegallery "Leftovers" is an exhibition that explores a significant place, the Abbotsford Convent laundry, and the power of the material traces that remain from the ritual activities of maintenance performed by its unpaid laundresses. "Leftovers" investigates their restorative acts which were almost invisible and undervalued. It interrogates the parallel that exists between the leftover materials and the women who handled them. It follows the traces of these women embedded in the patina of the laundry which generates such a profound sense of their absence. Opening event: 2-4pm Saturday 9th May Exhibition dates: 9th-31st May 11-4 Thurs-Sun #yarrasculpturegallery #vca-mca #yarracityarts #melbourneart #sculpture #contemporarysculpture #australiansculpture #sculpturebythesea

“The Matilda Effect” crit session @VCA MCA 2nd year. Counter-archive through counter monuments to address erasure or failure to acknowledge women’s contributions to new knowledge in the Western canon. Expressing the identity of women through the tools they handled modeled in soap, a medium associated with the female acts of care and maintenance. The ephemeral nature of their memory is evident in the evolving absences on the shadow board and the nature of the medium.
