About the exhibition

The Places That Shape Us examines queer lived experiences in regional Australia told through the large-scale paper sculptural forms of Ray Monde. Based in Braidwood NSW, the artist weaves his own memories with those of his peers and collaborators.

Through immersive collages, shaped in conversation with artists such as Nell, Todd Fuller and Prue Hazelgrove, we explore the emotional landscape of growing up different in the country.
