Lost Suburbs
Jack Buckley
3 - 20 December
Opening Event: 5 December 6pm - 8pm
​​​​
Considering the nature of suburban sprawl and its impact on local environments, Lost Suburbs explores the diverse array of species disappearing from the Sydney region. As the city struggles with its own housing crisis, an increasing amount of flora and fauna are becoming rarities in areas they once flourished. Through hand embroidery and pen illustration echoing scientific records, tangled power lines and facades intermingle with banksias and orchids. Within our ever changing urban scapes, these works contemplate how we best approach the preservation and memory of these species.​​
