what an experience! 💓🫶🌸 mum & I were given a huge opportunity to paint a series of painting to represent the ‘future of women’ to be exhibited in the First Building of the newest city in Australia since 100 years !!!!

we had such a lovely time brainstorming, talking to friends & family about the future and painting together 🥺🥺 we haven’t painted together since I was a kid, so this was such a wholesome and precious experience.

so grateful for Jax, Daisy & the PYT team for inviting us and giving us this huge opportunity to not only be involved in the beginning of the newest city in australia but to work together as a mother-daughter duo 🫶🫶 always grateful for the work you do for the community, for the arts, and for western sydney. 🥰

I’m so excited to see the growth of Bradfield city! it fills my heart with joy knowing that Bradfield Development Authority is working so closely with the community, connecting arts & science and recognising the efforts of women in society. 🌟 this is such a beautiful process and i can’t wait to say in 2070 that I was there when Bradfield first begun!

✨🌟💫

FRUITFUL HOME OF TOMORROW 2025 🍉🌸🌎 The artwork series reimagines a future where women lead and live in a community, harmonious with nature.

Watermelon House 🍉 sees women living and growing in harmony with nature. They are engineers, mathematicians, scientists, and artists. This artwork dreams of a sustainable future, where humans and the environment live together in balance, and our homes become part of the living world instead of standing apart from it.

We’re Going on an Adventure 🌎 captures the beautiful strength community and inter-generational sharing and learning between women. Women and girls are the pioneers of the world, marching forward together, leading us into the future.

So excited to be a part of this exhibition as part of @potluck_ari at @utp___ @bankstownartscentre 🌺🌸

Come this weekend to see all the wonderful artworks by amazing Western Sydney artists.

The table is a place to gather and eat, to be in communion and to work; it is a place to be challenged, to feel our perspectives broaden. The six Western Sydney artists of ‘To The Table’ explore the inevitable beauty and tension of gathering; their works share lessons with us and bestow blessings.

Rae Boggs (@serialcatnapper) tells us that time must be spent together to share stories. Karlina Mitchell
(@karlina_mitchell) suggests the preparation of any food is a labour of love, and Keorattana Luangrathrajasomba (@bykeorattana) responds that the meal itself is a gravitational force. Thao Nhi La (@tnlala)’s work speaks to the harmony of fusion and the joy of belonging. Jamie Jude Smith (@jamiejudesmithart)’s work notes how the sharing of a meal has its own complexities — but there is contentment in this experience, too, Eleanor Wickens (@timetravellin.fish) reminds us. They add, we must memorialise the remnants of a good time, wrapping them carefully like leftovers to enjoy again later.

The exhibition gently asks: what would you like to bring to the table? Who would you like to see across from you, and who would you like seated beside you?

‘To the Table by Potluck ARI’ - @potluck_ari exhibition opening , Saturday 15 November, 2-3pm
Utp @utp___ , Bankstown Arts Centre

The exhibition is running from 15 - 22 November.
