Repositioning a Place in the Heart
Saturday 2nd July 2022 to Sunday 11th September 2022
Annette Peterson reinterprets her dad's memories of life at Parkerville Children's Home in the 1950s through her paintings in Repositioning a Place in the Heart. Annette began researching and recording his story during an artist residency at Midland Junction Arts Centre. This was followed by a residency at Parkerville Children's Home where she was able to paint 'en plein air' while re-listening to her dad's history. Her dad's story emerges through her work, his emotion intersecting with her own.
