These are the works I had exhibited at Gaffa for Peculiar Compendiums with Veronica Habib, Louise Morgan, Meaghan Potter and Hannah Toohey, on 24/7/2014 - 4/8/2014.

Today, all around the world, people strive for the security of employment.

'Eight golden bowls' embodies the ambitions and struggles we undergo to achieve this security - the number eight being a symbol of the good luck and good fortune we wish to have with us throughout our life.
