I spent more than thirty years volunteering within the court system and became deeply involved with a range of organisations supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged communities\, serving as an ambassador and contributing wherever I felt I could make a difference. These experiences brought immense meaning and purpose to my life. \nIn more recent years\, life shifted dramatically when my partner suffered a severe brain aneurysm. The last decade brought a very different role – that of caregiver\, advocate and companion. It was a journey filled with challenge\, devotion and resilience. Like many carers\, I found that while looking after others so much of myself was quietly put aside. \nAbove all\, my first and greatest love has always been family. Michael and I have been fortunate to build a life surrounded by love – with our two married children and their partners\, and six lively\, beautiful grandchildren who bring endless energy\, joy and colour to my world. Family has always been my anchor and remains at the centre of who I am. \nEventually I realised that somewhere beneath the responsibilities and routines\, there was another part of me patiently waiting – my inner self asking for space\, quiet and renewal. \nArt became that place. \nI attended the Victorian College of the Arts for approximately three years\, studying painting in evening classes. I loved everything about it – the energy of the students\, the stimulation of learning\, and most of all the joy of painting itself. I was honoured to be accepted as a full-time student; however\, when COVID arrived\, that path unexpectedly paused. \nWhen life gradually returned to a more normal rhythm\, I continued my artistic journey through the Victorian Artists Society\, where I have been fortunate to learn from an inspiring teacher and further develop my practice. I also completed three courses with L’Escalier\, a French art school\, through Zoom studies\, which opened new perspectives and challenged me to keep growing and experimenting. \nPainting gives me a freedom that is difficult to explain. When I paint\, I enter another world entirely. I no longer feel confined by age\, responsibility or expectation. Instead I feel like a young woman again – in my imagination I am wearing high heels\, red of course\, and a flowing red dress. There is movement\, confidence and joy. In those moments I am completely happy. \nI primarily work in oils and have developed a deep love of portraiture because faces hold endless stories. I am fascinated by expression\, by what sits beneath the surface\, and by the humanity we carry in our eyes. More recently I have also discovered a growing love for still life – finding beauty and quiet significance in ordinary objects. \nI also enjoy working in watercolour\, particularly while travelling\, where its spontaneity and ease allow me to capture moments and impressions with freedom and simplicity.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://fortyfivedownstairs.com/event/courage-colour-finding-me/ LOCATION:fortyfivedownstairs gallery\, 45 Flinders Lane\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, 3000\, Australia CATEGORIES:gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fortyfivedownstairs.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pear-in-Silk-Barbara-Rozenes-oil-on-canvas-406mmx-421-mm_square-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="fortyfivedownstairs":MAILTO:info@fortyfivedownstairs.com GEO:-37.8147392;144.9730607 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=fortyfivedownstairs gallery 45 Flinders Lane Melbourne Victoria 3000 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=45 Flinders Lane:geo:144.9730607,-37.8147392 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260825 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260906 DTSTAMP:20260825T070024Z CREATED:20260615T070034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260825T070024Z UID:10004631-1787616000-1788652799@fortyfivedownstairs.com SUMMARY:TWIN DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”ffds-gallery-artistname”]\nAnne Dash & Emma Dash\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”ffds-gallery-exhibitionname”]\nTWIN\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]25 August – 5 September 2026 \nopening night: Tuesday 25 August 2026\, 5-7pm\nwith guest speaker Professor Patrick McGorry AO \nartist talk: Saturday 5 September 2026\, 1pm \nhours:\nTuesday – Friday: 12pm – 7pm\nSaturdays: 12pm – 4pm \nadmission: Free[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\n… Familiar images of sameness are revisited and subtly shifted; difference emerges within resemblance… \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_btn title=”PURCHASE AN ARTWORK” color=”inverse” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgallery-shop-3603.myshopify.com%2Fcollections%2Ftwin”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”]Load More[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs shape=”round” color=”white” active_section=”1″ no_fill_content_area=”true”][vc_tta_section tab_id=”1518320329614-868977ba-1f9e905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″ title=”Description”][vc_column_text css=””]Twin is a collaborative exhibition by twin sisters Anne Dash and Emma Dash. Working across painting\, embroidery and sequinned textile\, the project unfolds as a sustained inquiry rather than a series of discrete statements. Through repetition\, gesture and duration\, twinhood is approached not as duplication but as relation – shaped through closeness and exchange. \nAcross the exhibition\, attention accumulates slowly. Familiar images of sameness are revisited and subtly shifted; difference emerges within resemblance. Gesture\, memory and perspective become sites where individuality and reciprocity are held in sustained tension. Hand-sewn sequins recur as both material and metaphor – registering time and labour while resisting the speed and frictionless clarity of digital imagery. Reflection remains unstable\, images shifting with light\, movement and proximity. \nThe exhibition resists immediacy and spectacle. Meaning develops through closeness and return\, producing a quiet disorientation in which looking becomes exchange. Rather than proposing resolution\, the works hold complexity\, thought and contradiction open.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artists’ Bios” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text css=””]Anne Dash \nAnne has loved working with textile since a young age. When completing her Fine Art Degree at Monash University\, Anne further explored and developed her signature\, emergent and highly intricate practice. Inspired by eighteenth century anatomical plates. Anne combined sequins\, patchwork\, and paint into richly layered compositions. These works led Anne to winning the Mama Duke Painting Prize at the Fine Arts Graduate Exhibition. \nAnne’s current practice focuses on twins\, investigating identity\, duality and the complex relationship between self and reflection. Through sewing sequins and textiles\, Anne uses material as metaphor for mirroring\, response\, and connection. Utilising the slow and meticulous process of tambour beading\, Anne’s work creates a space for contemplation\, new ways of seeing and understanding the movement and change in relationship with self and others. \n  \nEmma Dash  \nEmma Dash is a Melbourne-based artist working across painting and textiles. Her recent practice reflects on the experience of twinhood\, emergence from and the complexities of shared identity. Working collaboratively with her twin sister\, Anne Dash\, she explores intimacy\, mirroring\, identity\, and differentiation through layered material processes and figurative imagery. Her work is informed by an ongoing interest in relational psychology\, perception\, and the way identity emerges through proximity\, the traces left by prolonged relation and continual exchange.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Events” tab_id=”1784798129293-2bef1bc8-51e7″][vc_column_text css=””]Opening Night\nTuesday 25 August 2026\, 5pm – 7pm\nwith guest speaker Professor Patrick McGorry \n  \nArtist Talk\nSaturday 5 September 2026\, 1pm[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://fortyfivedownstairs.com/event/twin/ LOCATION:fortyfivedownstairs gallery\, 45 Flinders Lane\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, 3000\, Australia CATEGORIES:gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fortyfivedownstairs.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DNA-2023-acrylic-paint-sequins-and-fabric-156-x-147-cm.-crop.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="fortyfivedownstairs":MAILTO:info@fortyfivedownstairs.com GEO:-37.8147392;144.9730607 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=fortyfivedownstairs gallery 45 Flinders Lane Melbourne Victoria 3000 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=45 Flinders Lane:geo:144.9730607,-37.8147392 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260908 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260920 DTSTAMP:20260909T030309Z CREATED:20260615T070018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260909T030309Z UID:10004633-1788825600-1789862399@fortyfivedownstairs.com SUMMARY:sex death country DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”ffds-gallery-artistname”]\nPonch Hawkes & Ian Bracegirdle\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”ffds-gallery-exhibitionname”]\nsex death country\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]8 September – 19 September 2026 \nopening night: \nTuesday 8 September\, 5-7pm \nartist in conversation with Dr. Michael Vale:\nSunday 13 September\, 1pm \nhours:\nTuesday – Friday: 12pm – 7pm\nSaturdays: 12pm – 4pm \nadmission: Free[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_btn title=”VIEW & PURCHASE ARTWORK” custom_background=”#555555″ custom_text=”#fff” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgallery-shop-3603.myshopify.com%2Fcollections%2Fsex-death-country” custom_hover_background=”#464646″ custom_hover_text=”#f7f7f7″ custom_border=”#555555″ custom_hover_border=”#464646″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″]Load More[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs shape=”round” color=”white” no_fill_content_area=”true”][vc_tta_section tab_id=”1518320329614-868977ba-1f9e905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″ title=”Ian Bracegirdle”][vc_column_text]Artist Statement \nThe question of belonging permeates much of my studio output. Being a child migrant clearly affects my connection to the land. It is a strange place\, with its own rhythms\, regularly and brutally interrupted by human incursions. I often piece together drawings from excursions and immersion. The studio paintings are rarely representations of a single specific location but are collected narratives. The portrait works have been driven by the notion of ageing and invisibility\, often cited by older members of the community.  Whereas the recent sculptural forms explore a different kind of personal landscape\, in the issues of conflict over geography\, the resulting diaspora and displacement. \n  \nArtist Bio \nIan Bracegirdle studied a Diploma of Fine Art at Caulfield institute of Technology and a Graduate Diploma in sculpture at the Victorian College of the Arts. Ian has been responsible for many projects in Australia and internationally\, including an appointment as designer for the River Parade at Melbourne Commonwealth Games. Working as a designer over many years he has been responsible Exhibitions at the National Museum\, The National War memorial\, Museum Victoria and the South Australian Museum. As well has his significant contribution in the design field\, he regularly exhibits his studio work\, the most recent work has been shown at 45 downstairs and the Montalto Sculpture Prize.\nIan is also a singer song/writer releasing his album in 2025 “the weather is broken” with his band Blueboat theory[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Ponch Hawkes” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text]Artist Statement \nARCOLATRY. AND SPACE \nBears and humans have been dancing in my dreaming\, awake and asleep for some time now. About two years ago I read an article about bears and hibernation and how the scientists engaged in space exploration\,  saw promise in unlocking the mystery of this animal that could sleep for six months\, not eat or defecate and still maintain its bone density and muscle mass. \nHumans can’t match it. We just don’t have it\, we can’t be bears. \n  \nArtist Bio \nPONCH HAWKES has a long established photographic practice. Her work explores the themes of the body\, the environment\, community and relationships through a feminist perspective often using her imagery to engage in contemporary critical debates. In 2026 her

Framed works are measured from the external edge of the frame. The total external dimensions of framed artworks must be under 20 x 20 x 20cm. \nDoes my artwork need to be framed? \nNo. However\, all artworks must arrive ready to hang. \nWhat does “ready to hang” mean? \nYour artwork must arrive ready for installation. Examples of artworks that are considered “ready to hang” include: \n\nFramed works with suitable hanging fixtures\, such as wire\, D-rings or sawtooth fixtures.\nUnframed canvases (which will be hung from their stretcher bars).\nUnframed works on paper (which may be pinned). Please affix adhesive tabs if you do not want your work to be pinned.\n\nfortyfivedownstairs will not accept artworks that are not suitable for installation. This includes: \n\nWorks with unsuitable hanging methods\, such as string\, double-sided tape or no hanging mechanism.\nPaintings that are not fully dry at artwork drop off.\nFrames that are damaged\, unstable or unsuitable for exhibition.\nArtworks that may damage other artworks.\n\nWhere can I find frames under 20cm? \nGood places to look include: \n\nFraming stores\, which often stock ready-made frames\, canvases and boards.\nHomewares and home décor stores.\nOp shops and second-hand stores.\n\nIf you are based in Melbourne\, we recommend checking out Frames Readymade. Their Reclaimed + Range of Artist Packs\, which includes sizes from 4” x 4” to 5” x 7”\, are excellent as pre-framed boards for paintings\, while their ‘Seconds Stock’ in 4” x 6” and 5” x 7” are ideal for framing photos and drawings. \nCheck the external dimensions carefully before purchasing. The size listed on a frame usually refers to the size of artwork it holds\, not the overall size of the frame. A frame advertised as 20 x 20cm may therefore measure more than 20 x 20cm once the frame and backing are included. \nBecause all framed artworks must measure under 20 x 20 x 20cm externally\, we recommend choosing a frame with an advertised artwork size smaller than 20 x 20cm and checking its actual external measurements. \nPlease note: Some ready-made frames advertised as having a 20 x 20 cm external frame size actually exceed the SMALL size limit. Here are some common KMART frames where the exterior measurements exceed 20 cm (even though they are labelled as 20 cm): \n\n‘Nice Photo Frame – 6 in. x 6 in. (15 x 15 cm)’ (exterior measures 22.5 cm)\n‘Nice Photo Frame – 4 in. x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm)’ (exterior measures 22.5 cm)\n‘Manhattan Frame – 4 in. x 6 in.’ (exterior measures 22.5 cm)\n‘6 Piece Gallery Frame Set’ (exterior measures 21.5 cm)\n\nCan I enter a diptych\, triptych or multiple works as one artwork? \nYes\, provided all components together measure under 20 x 20 x 20cm when installed. \nThe work will be displayed as a single artwork\, with one title and sale price. The parts cannot be sold separately. \nCan I enter a 3D artwork? \nYes\, as long as the artwork measures less than 20 cm in all dimensions and can be hung on the wall\, it is acceptable. For example\, you could submit a ceramic plate and include hanging plate wires\, such as these ones available from Bunnings. \nDo you accept artworks requiring power? \nPowered artworks may be accepted if they can be connected to a standard power outlet and have been tagged and tested by a qualified electrician. \nArtists must provide batteries or other power sources for battery-operated works. The gallery cannot replace batteries during the exhibition. \nCan I use AI to create my artwork? \nNo. Artworks generated through AI\, even partially\, will not be accepted. \nSubmission \nHow do I enter? \nTo enter SMALL!\, scroll further down on this page\, complete the online Entry Form and pay the entry fee. \nWe will need your name\, address\, bank account details (to pay you for sold artworks)\, your ABN (if you have one)\, your artwork details (title\, medium\, size\, colour)\, and an image of your artwork (even if it isn’t finished). \nWhat is the entry fee? \nThe entry fee is $25. \nHow many artworks can I enter? \nEach artist may submit a maximum of two artworks. Each artwork must be entered separately\, with a separate Entry Form and $25 entry fee for each artwork. \nWhat is the deadline? \nThe deadline is Monday 9 November 2026\, 5pm.

In distilling plants and landscapes to their essence\, she finds order in a disordered world. \nIn a broader sense\, the study of biocosmology reveals why natural forms centre and ground us. \nBiocosmology shows life’s ability to create and maintain order is not a contradiction of the universe’s chaos\, but a delicate interplay between opposing forces. This dance is crucial for comprehending the nature of life and our place in the cosmos. \nBotanic structures’ mathematical underpinnings reflect universal principles governing the cosmos. These forms show the universe is not just an arbitrary collection of matter\, but an organised and interdependent system. \nThe works in Cosmic Forms can be seen simply as meditations on order within disorder. Yet they also examine our interconnectedness with all living things – from plants\, to animals\, to each other.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://fortyfivedownstairs.com/event/cosmicforms/ LOCATION:fortyfivedownstairs gallery\, 45 Flinders Lane\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, 3000\, Australia CATEGORIES:gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fortyfivedownstairs.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Inflection-Point_2025_oil-on-canvas_97-x-97-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="fortyfivedownstairs":MAILTO:info@fortyfivedownstairs.com GEO:-37.8147392;144.9730607 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=fortyfivedownstairs gallery 45 Flinders Lane Melbourne Victoria 3000 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=45 Flinders Lane:geo:144.9730607,-37.8147392 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260922 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261004 DTSTAMP:20260922T010904Z CREATED:20260827T015734Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260922T010904Z UID:10004637-1790035200-1791071999@fortyfivedownstairs.com SUMMARY:Primary Instincts DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”ffds-gallery-artistname”]\nPolish Art Foundation\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”ffds-gallery-exhibitionname”]\nPrimary Instincts\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]22 September – 3 October 2026 \nopening: \nSaturday 26 September\, 4-7pm \nmeet the artists:\nThursday 1 October\, 5:30-6:30pm\n\nhours:\nTuesday – Friday: 12pm – 7pm\nSaturdays: 12pm – 4pm \nadmission: Free[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n..explor[ing] tensions between control and impulse\, nature and artifice\, reason and sensation\, or the conscious and unconscious… \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_btn title=”VIEW AND PURCHASE ARTWORK” custom_background=”#C32727″ custom_text=”#FFFFFF” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgallery-shop-3603.myshopify.com%2Fcollections%2Fprimary-instincts%3Fpage%3D1″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs shape=”round” color=”white” no_fill_content_area=”true”][vc_tta_section tab_id=”1518320329614-868977ba-1f9e905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″ title=”Description”][vc_column_text]‘PRIMARY INSTINCTS’ is a group exhibition proudly hosted by the Polish Art Foundation\, with its home in Melbourne. \nIn a world mediated by technology\, systems and rational frameworks\, artists are invited to interpret the concept of Primary Instincts and reflect on what remains immediate\, embodied and unfiltered. Works may explore tensions between control and impulse\, nature and artifice\, reason and sensation\, or the conscious and unconscious. \nArtists may respond conceptually\, emotionally or physically to the theme of instinct as a driving force in human behaviour and creativity. \nThe exhibition will feature a wide range of voices and visions. Through painting\, drawing\, mixed media\, photography\, video\, digital media\, installation or interdisciplinary practices\, artists are invited to respond\, exploring what it means to act\, create and exist before logic\, before structure\, before explanation. \nThe Polish Art Foundation will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2027. A not-for-profit organisation\, it was founded in Melbourne in 1977 and has played a distinctive role in promoting artists of Polish heritage within Australia\, while also creating opportunities for artistic exchange between Polish\, Australian and broader multicultural communities. \nThe Foundation emerged from a practical act of support for artists who had recently arrived from Europe at that time\, giving rise to an organisation dedicated to cultural connection through contemporary visual art. Today\, almost five decades later\, the Foundation continues to present thematic exhibitions\, workshops\, social events and collaborative projects\, supporting both established and emerging artists. \nIts aims include promoting artists of Polish heritage to the Australian community\, collaborating with local Australian artists\, encouraging contemporary visual art in all its forms\, working with aligned cultural institutions and galleries\, and building a collection of works for future generations.

Enjoy an informal conversation with the artists\, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions\, explore their artistic practice and hear the stories behind the works. \nAn engaging afternoon for art lovers\, collectors and anyone curious about the creative process. \n  \nOlga Dziemidowicz \nOlga Dziemidowicz is a Polish-born\, Melbourne-based visual artist working across landscape\, abstraction and portraiture. Using landscape as a starting point\, she works with colour\, texture and intuitive mark-making to explore what we notice in nature and the energy and aliveness beneath what we see. \nOriginally trained as an architect\, Olga spent seven years working in service design before turning to art full-time in 2021. She studied visual art at the Victorian College of the Arts and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Australia. \n  \nKasia Dudkiewicz \nKasia Dudkiewicz is a Melbourne-based contemporary fibre artist whose sculptural practice explores tactility\, repetition\, memory and the emotional language of material. Working predominantly with cotton rope and thread\, she uses slow\, repetitive hand processes to create richly textured forms that sit between textile and sculpture. \nLargely self-taught\, her practice has evolved from traditional fibre techniques into a distinctive sculptural language\, grounded in the human hand\, imperfection and the traces of experience held within the things we make. Her work has gained growing recognition through exhibitions and art prizes across Australia\, including selection as a finalist in the 2026 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Supported by \n         [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://fortyfivedownstairs.com/event/primary-instincts/ LOCATION:fortyfivedownstairs gallery\, 45 Flinders Lane\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, 3000\, Australia CATEGORIES:gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fortyfivedownstairs.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Primary-Insticts.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="fortyfivedownstairs":MAILTO:info@fortyfivedownstairs.com GEO:-37.8147392;144.9730607 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=fortyfivedownstairs gallery 45 Flinders Lane Melbourne Victoria 3000 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=45 Flinders Lane:geo:144.9730607,-37.8147392 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
