The Story Behind My Next Project: Rituals for Letting Go

Or follow this link

Surface Tension, an exhibition with Brenda Factor, at ANCA Gallery in Canberra from 15 May to 2 June 2024, marks the beginning of a project to return a seashell collection and other artefacts to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The artefacts, purchased in the 1970s from the Cocos Malay people, include sea turtle shell brooches and bangles, some small wood carvings, and an ornamental walking stick made from a shark’s spine. They will be donated to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands museum.

The exhibition will be followed by a residency at Freemantle Arts Centre in September 2024.
