Poster for 'when i sleep' an exhibtion by Grace O'Brien at Thistle Hall Community Gallery. A softly drawn imge of a girl tucked into bed, her cover and bedside table cosily messy. Through the bedroom window we see the chin and half smile of the girl's adult self at giant scale, observing her younger self sleep.
A painting by Grace O'Brien of two children holding hands and standing in adult shoes.

when i sleep is an interactive installation with accompanying paintings. My first solo exhibition <3

Before moving to Pōneke I lived in one house my whole life. A house my parents built for our family. Sometimes I close my eyes and check on myself back at home. It feels smaller than I remember, but she's still there, peacefully sleeping.
