Victory / Gaffa Gallery

Curated by Christine McFetridge

14 - 25 April 2016. 

Victory seeks to highlight women photographers working in Victoria.

Sometimes cheeky, sometimes a little more serious; the work places women at the central point of focus.

Holy Lands, George Paton Gallery

Holy Lands

21 - 31 October 2014

Curated by Jake Treacy

Holy Lands is an exhibition situated between lands. It is an earthed forum, like a sacred circle drawn into dirt, wherein a consecrated gathering of contemporary Australian artists map the landscape. Scars and valleys, mountains and veins, the water which dislocates and unites, and terrain mirroring the expanse of the sky.
