Body of Becoming (and Other Desires) is officially open!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for opening night. If you couldn't make it or you'd like to spend more time with the work, the exhibition is on throughout August.

Exhibition Dates
3–31 August

Meet the Artist
Monday & Wednesday: 11:00am–2:00pm
Saturday: 3:00pm–5:00pm

I'll be in the gallery during these times and would love to chat about the exhibition, the stories behind the works, and The Grid.

If you're coming to the COMEBACK Festival performances in the theatre, you can explore the exhibition while you're there - the exhibition is in the Bar!

Whether you're discovering the work for the first time or returning for another look, you're warmly invited.

A Third Heart Beats

A Third Heart Beats explores intimacy not through grand gestures, but through closeness.

Two figures meet in vibrant colour and expressive forms, while a deep blue negative space quietly creates a heart between them. A reminder that connection often exists in the spaces we create together.

This work celebrates tenderness, love and the beauty of simply being present with another.

A Third Heart Beats is currently on display as part of Body of Becoming (and Other Desires) and is available for purchase throughout August.

Thank you. ❤️

What an incredible way to begin Body of Becoming (and Other Desires).

To everyone who ventured out on a cold August Monday evening to celebrate the opening with me, so a huge thank you. Your presence, conversations and encouragement made the night more special than I could have imagined.

Thank you also to everyone who joined us online through the livestream. It was wonderful to know the exhibition could be shared beyond the gallery walls.

And to those who have already purchased artworks, thank you for choosing to take a piece of this exhibition home with you. Knowing these works have connected with people in such a meaningful way is incredibly rewarding.

This exhibition marks an important moment in my creative journey, and I'm grateful to everyone who has supported it - whether by attending, watching, sharing, purchasing, or simply cheering me on.

The exhibition is now showing throughout August, and I'd love to welcome you to the gallery if you haven't yet had the chance to visit.
