Harvest
Un/broken
2023
Cyanotype on eggshells, volcanic rock
Looking at the notions of connection, Un/broken examines the binds that tie through family relationships, histories and pastimes. Perched on volcanic rock from Moreton Bay, delicate eggshells pay homage to continuous matrilineal links to farming. Inside each shell, tiny cyanotype prints of mothers and grandmothers in Prussian blue.
Un/broken was exhibited as part of Harvest – a museum program with City of Moreton Bay council and held at the Redcliffe and Pine Rivers Heritage Museums in 2026.
Harvest digs down into the rich agricultural heritage of our region - its deep roots, thriving present, and bold growth for the future. The exhibition celebrates stories of this Country which has always been home to Aboriginal people. Country has been managed expertly for tens of thousands of years and continues to see abundant yields produced by today’s farmers. Through a vibrant mix of historical objects, striking photographs, and personal stories, Harvest reveals how agriculture has always influenced our land, economy, and ways of life.
