Like stumbling upon a cache of forgotten letters or inherited keepsakes, TROVE reveals what twelve contemporary women artists have unearthed, preserved, and transformed from personal and collective histories.
A group exhibition by the Three of Cups Club, a collective of women artists from the greater Moreton Bay region, TROVE presents rich and varied approaches through painting, ceramics, assemblage, weaving, drawing, digital illustration and photography. This diversity reflects the collective's founding values of collaboration, care, and creative exchange.
Work presented in TROVE functions as both personal artefact and intentional archive—evidence of the quiet labour and material investigations involved in navigating identity, heritage and belonging through creative practice.
The exhibition questions what we choose to keep and what stories these treasures tell. In an age of disposability, planned obsolescence and subscription-based collecting, TROVE positions contemporary artmaking as an act of preservation and rebellion, celebrating practices and memories worth treasuring.Photography: @shootwithju
In We are all just eggs, a zine-based work, I explore how we assign meaning to ourselves through the often absurd logic of categorisation. Someone once told me I have "big quiche energy." I hate quiche. This moment prompted a question: if our entire personalities can be reduced to egg forms, what does that say about the gap between how we see ourselves and how others see us? How does bias play into how we read our horoscope or complete another personality profile for a job?
My practice over the past year has been food-focused, illustrating cherished family recipes and meals that permeated suburban homes while exploring the connection between taste and collective memory. Eggs felt like the natural next step—familiar, yet polarising. I've illustrated these forms to function similarly: vague enough to feel personal yet specific enough to spark recognition. The work taps into our desire to understand ourselves through external frameworks, even when we know they're reductive.
This collection of zine, posters and flowchart forms a taxonomy of ways to be human—a trove of tiny mirrors reflecting our need to categorize, belong and still remain indefinable. We're all just egg-xisting in the communal carton of life.

This zine is the definitive guide to egg-based personality taxonomy and honestly should replace all existing psychometric assessments. Each copy comes with twelve egg types paired with detailed descriptions that may or may not hold up under scrutiny (peer-reviewed by absolutely no one). There's a random sticker in the back—your assigned egg, courtesy of the universe or chance, depending on your worldview.
