Please note the following blog post contains mention of an exhibition responding to stories of survival that were uncovered during the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. This is Macca - an excellent front-of-house staff member who was a comforting presence during my visit. The Lock-up in Newcastle combines an old heritage … Continue reading The Lock-up: Newcastle

Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA): Air
In 2020 I visited the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) to see an exhibition titled Water. GOMA's new exhibition, Air, is the next element in the series. Similar to Water, everything on display links back to an overriding theme in some way, shape or form. Water was definitely the more interactive of the two. A … Continue reading Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA): Air
TIME by Rone
I am back in Melbourne for a short break before we fully enter the Christmas/holiday season. One of the main reasons for flying down was to see TIME by Rone, an exhibition currently on display in Flinders Street Station. It is truly one of the most stunning exhibitions I have ever seen. It combines my … Continue reading TIME by Rone
Van Gogh Alive
On Saturday, I visited the Van Gogh Alive immersive experience here in Brisbane. Although not strictly an art gallery, I decided it was worth a review considering its role as a digital art experience that focuses on immersion rather than displaying 'authentic' artworks. What I mean by this, is you won't see an original Van … Continue reading Van Gogh Alive

It is located in Bulleen, on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, about 13 km from Melbourne's CBD. I was … Continue reading The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 7
The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 6
This week marks the halfway point for The Untitled Drawing Club - six weeks in with six more to go. We are travelling to Finland, to visit the Helsinki Art Museum or HAM for short. Firstly, great acronym - made me very hungry reading it. Secondly, I am so excited to 'digitally' visit Finland and … Continue reading The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 6
The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 5
The Untitled Drawing Club has, for the second time, sent us to an international location. This week, we are travelling to the Brooklyn Art Library in New York. The name of this library did ring a bell. I remember, a few years ago, learning about their Sketchbook Project and thinking it was a really amazing … Continue reading The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 5
