Join us in the studio this Sunday 1st December between 2 - 4pm for the opening of 'Flesh, Bone, Hair', an exhibition by @keirahudsonartist.

The exhibition explores our relationship with death, celebrating the beauty and diversity of human bodies whilst simultaneously reminding us of our inevitable return to the earth after our corporeal existence has ended.

Keira is a Melbourne-based artist specialising in alternative photographic processes, and is fascinated by the visceral, with her work a mixture of mystery, sexuality, romanticism and melancholy.
