Caught up with Meggs for some studio shots at Everfresh as he worked on the King For a Day show.
Opening Night Thursday 17 June, 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Following the success of her debut solo exhibition Where the Dry Leaves Fall at Gorker Gallery in 2008, Leah Bartholomew presents her new body of work These are the Days in her second solo exhibition.
These are the Days is an intimate exploration of the small, special moments that binds us together in friendship and create a sense of place. The prints, collages and paper sculptures delicately handcrafted by Bartholomew tell the story of a protracted coming of age, anchored in the landscapes of both experience and imagination.
From poetic scenes such as the group of friends lazing in a sun-drenched field, to the bonding of the shared beer in city back streets, to the quiet moment of solitude amongst prismatic trees, these works honour the events and emotions that can seem almost insignificant at the time, but go on to become important memories and dreams. They convey a similar feeling to that of discovering the smell of bonfire smoke on a pair of jeans that you haven’t worn for weeks.
Nostalgic. Ethereal. Personal. Precious.
Exhibition runs until Sunday 27 June
Gorker Gallery – Cnr Gore & Kerr Street Fitzroy
Opening hours:
3pm – 7pm Wednesday – Friday
11am – 7pm Saturday & Sunday

Bridge Stehli lives and works from her self-established art studio and collective ‘The Z80’ in Sydney, Australia. Drawing inspiration from her origins in Graffiti art, Bridge’s works, applied with acrylic paint in layers to timber, embrace the themes of personification of animals in classical and contemporary culture. Often Bridge’s objective is to capture a particular atmosphere or awkward social situation.
Taking inspiration from popular iconography present in animated films, cartoons, comic books, classic literature and childhood picture books, she also explores the parallels between the social hierarchies of humans and animals and the similarities between the two that are often ignored.
