My darling [the dangerlam](https://www.dangerlam.com/shoppe?ref=foxwizard.com) has contributed to the [Collect exhibition](abbotsfordconvent.com.au/event/collect)—*a collective of artists, friends and shared studios creating unique artworks through a diverse range of mediums in response to the word “Collect”.*

**Here is a collection of hand-drawn polaroid portraits of a solemn, grieving person. I reference the ritual and repetition of ‘one-picture-a-day’ photo projects that many undertake to chronicle change. This work was born out of a time of collective grieving (ongoing). I turned these phrases over and over: the many phases of grief; the many faces of grief; a singular face of grief. The title Life, While You Grieve is a nod to one of my favourite poems* [**Life While-You-Wait*](https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/07/02/amanda-palmer-reads-wislawa-szymborska/?ref=foxwizard.com) *by Wisława Szymborska.*

Naturally, I love everything Kim makes. 

If you’d like to be one of the few who owns one of these original pieces, they are available for purchase at [dangerlam.com/shoppe](https://www.dangerlam.com/shoppe?ref=foxwizard.com)

The exhibition is happening until May 4th at [The Abbotsford Convent](abbotsfordconvent.com.au/event/collect) at St Heliers Street Gallery. Other contributing artists include *Elizabeth Barnett, David Booth, Kat Chadwick, Hamish Freeman, Georgia Janetzki, Ellie Malin, Klarissa Pfisterer, Danie Pout, Cat Rabbit, Jess Racklyleft, Shelley Steer, and Anna Walker (who convened the exhibition).*

The opening for the [Collect exhibition](abbotsfordconvent.com.au/event/collect) was something quite special (｡◕‿◕｡)

The Abbotsford Convent is where we walk Snörri most days, and remains one of the best kept secrets of Melbourne. An enchanted, *slightly-haunted-yet-always-charming* place. Plus, the Collect exhibition is right next to [Cam’s](https://www.camskiosk.com.au/?ref=foxwizard.com), who make some of the best pasta napoli and tiramisu in the southern hemisphere. 

Mayhaps see you there!
