Carry This | Daniel Vukovljak
Carry This is a personal and intimate translation of grief into painting and collage. The works in this exhibition were created in response to the devastating loss of Vukovljak's young son. The exhibition reminds us that grief cannot be solved, but it can be shaped, and in doing so, hope and progress can be made.
The works in this exhibition were created while Vukovljak was a graduate-in-residence in both the Painting and Printmedia & Drawing Workshops the ANU School of Art & Design.
