Kate Hadley (b. 2001) is originally from the Wollondilly region of New South Wales, and is currently practicing in Sydney. Her practice is driven by a longing to retain a sense of wonder and curiosity that is central to childhood experiences. Drawing from her archive of family photos, she explores the presence and absence of memory, focusing on themes of identity, temporality and nostalgia using oil paint. Times of transition, such as weddings, birthdays, holidays and other forms of social gathering and celebration are common subjects of her paintings as she explores how these secular rituals shape individual and collective identity.
Gallery Opening date and time: August 10th, 6:30-8:30pm
