This exhibition was part of a larger project curated by Christopher Dean called STREETWORKS (FOREVER) which also involved work by
Mini Graff. I exhibited work in the gallery space in Roslyn Street, as well as in the 'Spud & Douglas Cafe' and the 'Voi' hair salon.
From the invitation - 'Walk the streets of Kings Cross and Darlinghurst to view works by Kate Mackay and Mini Graff. Artists' modifications, designed to counter corporate uniformity with techniques of incongruity, humour and irony, highlight the need for urban planning to play a role in creating cultural environments.'
The gallery space included paintings, as well as cardboard, paper, wood and crocheted works.
