My Mother’s Keeper will feature a film and a series of new photographs produced as a result of a collaboration between

The Long Shot
22 February 2020 > 17 May 2020
This new body of work extends Stockdale’s long-held fascination with early colonial times in Australia. The Long Shot explores
the dominant narratives of Australian folk history, mythology and iconography and challenges their potency within a contemporary context.
Based on extensive research, Stockdale presents a new version of Ned Kelly’s family history, with a focus on the experiences of Kelly’s
mother, Ellen.

Hana Vasak
Gallery Administrator and ceramic artist.
Working from home can definitely be a positive. Over the years I have come to enjoy the solitary nature of having a home studio. It has allowed me to embrace having a relaxed routine including creating my own working hours, at times working in my PJ’s.

Artist
I actually flourish well with very little noise. I live in an old house in Preston with lots of trees so there are always birds chatting, even at night.
Yilin Zhao
Yilin Zhao is a Linden's volunteers. She has now entered her second month of self-isolation in China and provided us with this update.
As I have kept self-isolation for nearly two months, I have to find myself something to do at home - I'm now taking French classes with my tutor online every weekday afternoon!
Food obsession!
Keep healthy and creative during your isolation. The kitchen is the place to be.
