Regional artist, Dean Stewart, deconstructs and rearranges found objects to evoke emotion and memory in his latest solo exhibition, Material Memory.

The works explore how materials hold meaning through the stories we attach to them, and the traces of the past they ultimately carry. Viewers are invited to reflect on what feels familiar, what sparks joy or nostalgia, and to experience something unexpected in the ordinary. Material Memory is a celebration of memory made visible, in forms both playful and profound.

A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative and outcome of the PLATFORM program.
