Imprint | Liz Gridley: Relics
15 April – 10 May 2026
Hammond Gallery
Official opening: Thursday 16 April at 6pm.
Portraits of passed loved ones through objects.
Relics are an important human reminder of intentionality, any object can be esteemed or venerated. These survivors of the end of a life, the cleanup and disposal after inevitable practicalities of death can bring forward our strength of our relationships, and hopefully demystify death to a presence that is manageable with the support of others in our lives.
