Solo Exhibition: Tender Things
Tender Things is my latest solo exhibition and it opens on the 30th of April at the gorgeous Hand Held Gallery in Bourke Street Melbourne city.
Hand Held Gallery is an amazing small scale space and as well as being a gallery space it also features handmade book arts and objects by local artists as well as a palm/tarot reader! Definitely a space worth checking out.
This is my second solo show and it features a small collection of my handmade books, zines, objects and new drawings. Hope you can come along and take a look.
Here are the details:

Aww, too bad, looks like I’ll just miss out. Well… by about a month and a half… I’m planning on making my first trip to Melbourne around June/July. But good luck with the show regardless! I treasure the piece that I own, so I’d imagine it would be a fantastic show to see :D
But on a side note, any art related suggestions? Galleries worth checking out etc etc, when I do end up travelling down?
Paul Compton replied
Thanks Mathew, the opening was wonderful. I write to you at a later stage with a little list of Melbourne gallery recommendations. Hope you’re well.

Hi Paul, just back from seeing your show which Fleur and I found wonderfully inspiring. Beautiful work….loved the twirly disks and the rainbow. Great little gallery too, lovely stuff (and I might just take a few of my papery things and Georgiana’s collages in there!).
Keep up your wonderful pen work and creative magic!.
Paul Compton replied
Aww, thank you so much for going to see the show! Incredibly kind of you and yes, the gallery is wonderful and I recommend having a chat with Megan who runs the gallery, she’s lovely. Thanks for making my day : D
