About

Trained as a printmaker, White’s work spans contemporary printmaking, sculpture, photography, performative actions and contemporary jewellery and design, often informed by the material and cultural context of each project. Based on Bunurong/Boonwurrung Country on the Mornington Peninsula, he is a father of two and teaches art alongside his artistic practice. Stephanie and Dominic will discuss relevant works acquired by the Friends over the years in the current exhibition of Unfolding: First Nations Works on Paper. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding of the diverse practices represented in Unfolding and to experience the exhibition through the perspective of those who shaped and contributed to it.
This exhibition reveals the many ways First Nations artists engage with paper as a medium and recognises the significance of paper as a powerful tool for the transfer of knowledge, stories, and contemporary artistic expression. Take this golden opportunity before the exhibition closes on February 15th to view these amazing works as well as enjoy Stephanie and Dominic’s presentation, as they point out the works that the Friends have acquired over the years for the gallery’s permanent collection.
