Lily Dowd and Belinda Whitta have curated a palmful of water on behalf of the handmade darkroom. This exhibition is the weaving together of photographic works by a collection of artists using alternative or sustainable analogue photography.

Artists Virginia Woods-Jack, Chloe Mason, Jonathan Kay, Moana Lee, Jan Larcombe, Samson Dell, Lily Dowd, and Belinda Whitta have each reflected on and illustrated a different facet of their personal connection with water.

Water offers many points in which to connect and muse upon. It is the body that holds our knowledge and memory. Water carries us to our homelands. We see these artists use water as a lens in which they see the world, a place to belong, or a means for connection. As a reminder to remain fluid, to challenge rigid tradition, and see the fleeting nature in time.

These artists have made alongside earth and water, whether through the realisation of the photograph, the development process, the fluidity, seasonality and queer timeline of the earth, or sometimes water even gifted them the image.
