The Architecture of Feeling

Curated by Megan Monte

21 March - 21 June 2026

The Architecture of Feeling playfully explores how emotion is held, transformed, and revealed through form, gesture, and encounter. Drawing from the gallery’s collection, the exhibition brings together ceramics, works on paper, and photographs in intimate tableaux that trace the thresholds of human experience, where pleasure and restraint meet in a quiet theatre of feeling.

Collection artists: Hannah Barclay, Julie Bartholomew, Stephen Benwell, Stephen Bird, Pat Brassington, Jacques Charoux, Kirsten Coelho, Nici Cumpston, Greg Daly, Lynda Draper, Diogenes Farri, Honor Freeman, Marea Gazzard, Ian Gentle, Sarah Goffman, Juz Kitson, John Kuczwal, Danie Mellor, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, David Nolan, Graham Oldroyd, Jenny Orchard, Anders Ousback, John Paine, Alan Peascod, Jacky Redgate, Barbara Romalis & Elisabeth Cummings, Ebony Russell, Derek Smith, Sarah Smuts-Kennedy, Vipoo Srivilasa, Phyllis Stewart, Suzanne Stewart, and Amy Joy Watson.

Presented by Wollongong Art Gallery.
