Even in a remote shed on a station, there's a sense of familiarity. My works in this exhibition take you on a journey through scenes from my home and my travels, revealing how even the most distant places share strikingly similar qualities to ones at home. These places may feel foreign, yet evoke a sense of belonging, of something familiar when time is spent studying it.

The exhibition invites you to reflect on how our environments, no matter how remote or disconnected they may seem, often carry overlapping elements - small, almost overlooked details that link them together in surprising ways. These details draw connections between seemingly different places, offering a glimpse into how far-reaching yet deeply rooted our experiences can be. It’s an exploration of how the familiar can emerge in unexpected places, creating a tapestry of shared human experience that transcends physical distance.

Similarly, this concept extends to people, especially in the context of emerging artists. Over the past years, many of us have felt isolated in our practices. But through coming together and comparing our different experiences, we’ve discovered how much we share despite our different backgrounds and challenges. Just as places can feel familiar even when they are distant, so too can people find common ground in the midst of what seems like isolation.

This exhibition reflects that parallel: it’s a celebration of the ways in which both places and people, seemingly far apart, can be bound together through shared experiences, struggles, and the small things that we share in common. By comparing the familiar with the distant, the local with the foreign, we see how the isolation we sometimes feel is not as isolating as it first appears.
