Manningham Art Gallery presents two exhibitions of tactile, abstract works that recontextualise commonly encountered materials, celebrating the everyday and unpredictable process driven experimentation.
Anni Hagberg’s Trace Encounters employs foraging practices, ceramic processes, and experimental installation to explore uncertainty as a contemporary human condition.
Rejecting linear understandings of progress, foraging practices embody a sense of agnostic curiosity. Opportunistically engaging materials, which present themselves within the environment through the process of being discarded by one and found by another, foraging encourages lively interaction with the environment.
Rhys Cousins work homes in on otherwise ordinary and ignored surfaces that one might expect to encounter on any given day. It acknowledges life as complex sensory jigsaw, but deliberately strips away the smells, sounds, language, and colour of that puzzle to explore only touch and the external physical qualities of the myriad materials that make up the urban places we live.
Examining the importance of touch as a physical and emotional experience - helping us to make sense of the world, the work also highlights how texture is made as much through presence as absence, with the solid bumps and ridges in a surface playing as great a role in creating its overall texture as its voids, crevices, nooks, and cracks.
Cousins and Hagberg’s works are activated across Gallery 1 and 2.

Textile Temporalities is an exhibition that explores and reflects on the temporal nature of craft practices, human connectedness, and sites of intimacy.
Led by artist Shannon Slee, whose practice investigates the role of discarded clothing to connect with personal and social histories, our small gallery will be showcasing a range of recent works from the artist and a special participatory artwork made in collaboration with older people in Manningham.
Visitors to the gallery will also have the opportunity to get involved through a textile inspired activity.
Artist Biography
Shannon Slee is a visual artist living and working in Narrm. Her practice engages with the handmade to consider intimate moments of connection within the flexible aesthetic of textiles. She explores practices of reusing, sewing, spinning, and weaving, with a particular interest in how craft modalities distort time, invite tactile engagement, and evoke memory. Through her work, she investigates rhythms of making, and the narrative and emotions embedded in material processes.
In 2024 she was awarded a Masters of Contemporary Art from the University of Melbourne. She has recently exhibited at the Public Records Office, Melbourne; Five Walls Project Space, Melbourne; Linden Project Space, Melbourne; fortyfive downstairs, Melbourne; Australian Tapestry Workshop, Melbourne and George Paton Gallery at the University of Melbourne.

On in Manningham Art Gallery's Curio display window, this small exhibition of works by Anni Hagberg and Rhys Cousins extends the artists' recent exhibitions in the gallery, exploring and playing with materials in innovative and exciting ways.
The display pairs silk prints of finely detailed photographs of non-descript textures by Cousins with a collection of amorphous ceramic and mixed media objects created through experimental firings by Hagberg.
Together, the items speak to the artists' shared interest in everyday, discarded or otherwise forgotten materials and surfaces of modern urban environments and how they interact in myriad ways.
Curio is accessible at the south-eastern corner of Manningham City Square (MC Square), 687 Doncaster Road, Doncaster VIC 3108.
An exhibition exploring works by several exceptional emerging artists, whose practices examine our natural environment from an aerial perspective, homing in on materials and subjects often overlooked.
These artists push, capture, map and rework the everyday. Through this process, pieces of refinement and polished simplicity form, like Rhys Cousins’ Plank and Brick. Or waste materials transform into rough jewel like sculptures as seen across Anni Hagberg’s works.
A highlight of the exhibition is Wurundjeri Artist Ash Firebrace’s Possum Skin Cloak he produced in collaboration with his sister Michelle Mills.
Interwoven throughout our space, are ceramic pieces from the Manningham Art Collection. A revisiting of works old and new.

Tasmina K Majles is a Bangladeshi born visual artist based in Melbourne. In 2019, she earned a Master of Creative Arts from Deakin University, Australia.
Her practice explores the presence of duality in nature and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.
Nature is the core inspiration to A Symphony of Dichotomies; forms, shapes, and elements of nature, in particular, birds are depicted as a metaphor to reflect the coexistence of inner and external worlds, freedom of soul, infinitude and self-reflection, to create immersive watercolour and ink paintings; alongside the site-specific installation. The works are meditative and inquisitive, asking us to marvel at and pay closer attention to our lived environment.
