The Places That Shape Us is an exhibition by Ray Monde, examining queer lived experiences in regional Australia. Through immersive collages, shaped in conversation with artists such as Nell, Todd Fuller and Prue Hazelgrove, Ray explores the emotional landscape of growing up different in the rural regions. Ray who is based in Braidwood NSW, weaves his own memories with those of his peers and collaborators, into large panel soft hued collage works. The Places that Shape Us is a physical journey through familiar and unfamiliar places, with audio from contributors who extend the experience beyond the visual.
