Oysters and Sustainability: From Harvest to Market

This solo exhibition explores the legacy of Melbourne's oyster reefs, highlighting their journey from harvest to Queen Victoria Market.

The exhibition delves into the impact of over-harvesting, especially during the gold rush, when oysters shifted from a common food source to a delicacy. Shells were repurposed for lime, integral to Melbourne's early architecture.

This story unfolds through 10 sculptural panels made of burnt oyster shells, a poignant reminder of the damage caused by dredging and over-exploitation and inviting reflection on the cyclical nature of consumption and ecological regeneration.
