The Spot the War Forgot

Closes Friday 27 June

The Berrima World War One POW camp is a remarkable story of three diverse groups thrown together in a dark time of hatred.  Through homemade huts, boats, and bridges, along with bushfires, snakes, and music, these three groups lived out the ancient and difficult command to, ‘Love thy Enemies.’

Unscripted

Closes Friday 22 August

Welcome to my urban street photography exhibition which marks off a personal milestone for me, it is the culmination of hours spent chasing the visual poetry of everyday life. Inspired by photographers Vivian Maier, Helen Levitt and Ernest Haas`s work, and shared loved of the streets of New York. I`ve sort to blend architecture, abstraction, and fleeting, unscripted moments that often go unnoticed.

Each image holds a story, a feeling, a captured moment in time, and my hope is that perhaps, you can also get a little lost in the mystery and quiet meaning that this dream piece has helped me uncover.
