Home (Away From Home)
J Davies
12.10 - 19.11.2023
Mon to Sun 11:00 – 19:00
‘Home (Away From Home)’ offers an insight into the ways in which queer relationships provide a sense of safety, a sense of belonging, and a sense of home.
Comprised of both still and moving imagery, this exhibition tells stories of the sensual and sensuous nature of queer love and queer life, from wavy, hazy disco-dance-floors to soft, gentle embraces of lovers and friends holding hands and holding space for one another. Viewers can experience life in Naarm (Melbourne) through the eyes of the artist and consider how we value intimacy in our everyday lives.
