About the exhibition

Artist statement

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”  – Maya Angelou.

My hand-fabricated pendant honours the transformations we experience through life. A caterpillar quietly nibbles a leaf below a blossoming butterfly, its wing adorned with tiny hand-sawn flowers symbolising growth, resilience, and the quiet strength required for change.

The exhibition runs from 15 – 26 July 2025 at the Grey Street Gallery, Queensland College of Art, 226 Grey Street, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Gallery opening hours are 10 am – 4 pm Tues - Fri (closed Mon and Sun).
