DESCRIPTION:
Are you ready to get the first look? The culmination of aggregated decades in artistic expertise and training, this show is as stylish as they come. On the outside, you’ll find her deceptively compact and modular, unob- trusively situated on one of Melbourne’s covetable street corners. Inside, she is nothing short of a revelation. Yes, she comes standard with everything you might expect; enclosed spaces, gallery atmosphere, the full complement of attentive staff and a formidable stable of contributing artists. Beyond this, she truly exceeds conventional expectations, a novel and singular bright spark of original verve.

Supple and pliant, she seamlessly adapts to solo, fleeting daytime visits, or for all the family to savour. In her individual pieces, you simply will not encounter a more impeccable confluence of media as those on show. Her instal- lation constitutes nothing but the finest sense of aesthetic rigor and custom elegance. She is displayed with a superbly cadenced arrangement that will certainly see her excel in the wider Melbourne artist-run arena. Her spacious, considered curation offers open-plan circulation and leisurely browsing.
