Shelter from the Storm

I was invited to contribute to a group exhibition called 'Golden the Exhibition' with some amazing local artists to support their cause to raise funds for STREAT which is an organisation that helps deal with homelessness here in Australia. The theme that we had to work with was 'Hope' and I latched on to the word 'Shelter' and in my research I was inspired by the Bob Dylan song 'Shelter from the Storm' because some of the life stories that it tells is something I can relate to.

I intended to use Neon as I felt it's part of the landscape when you deal with homelessness, visually it is a relief when it's a shelter or a hinderance when you happen to sleep under one. Golden the Exhibition is organised by the uber talented Kate Pullen, their branding this year was done by the lovely Wanissa Somsuphangsri, the event was hosted by Work-Shop Melbourne.
