Through Spaced’s programming, the concept of exchange is deeply important to the way we engage with artists and communities. Makers and locals alike have to opportunity to shape and influence discussions as they relate to a shared sense of place. In the case of Jacky Cheng, the life of the work she made during her Rural Utopias residency in Margaret River, continues to live on through this tender offering by Vivienne Garrett, in memory of B.
