This exhibition honours the still-life paintings of Margaret Olley (1923–2011) with new work by Gadigal/Sydney-based artist Sally Anderson.
During her 2025 residency at the Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio, Anderson embarked on a new body of work that responds not only to Olley’s still life paintings but also to selected objects from the re-creation of Olley’s home studio. Interweaving deeply personal experiences and themes of domesticity, care, maternity, and mortality within her work, Anderson invites us to reconsider Olley’s still life paintings in a new light.
