Currently exhibiting in The Unrequited Dream at CHARTS, Kaz creates work inspired by suburban life in Queensland while confronting the changing realities of cost of living, environmental damage and identity. Bring along a few reference images — photos of home, places you love to go, or locations that hold memory — and transform them into a unique artwork to take home.
