Twelve artists from the suburbs use their unique imaginings to express the feelings that arise from their situation and existence.
Through diverse visual concepts and both traditional and experimental mediums, this body of work invites audiences to engage with suburbia in layered and unexpected ways.
From early settlements built around survival to today’s complex lifestyle choices, suburbia carries its own language—of parks, coastlines, bushland, isolation and community. As reflected in David Lynch: The Art Life, houses hold unseen stories behind lit or darkened windows. We may choose where we live, but do these sub urban undercurrents ultimately shape who we become?
