Sluggardly
14.09.2016-01.10.2016 Nell Pearson Sluggardly is more to do with a sort of psychic laziness than with couch-clinging or driving everywhere.

25.05.2016 – 11.06.2016 Lou Hubbard I was looking for an angle to describe my exhibition Att: Main Reception, Level 1, 12 Waratah Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000.
