Alta Forma is delighted to present its sixth duo exhibition bringing together the work of two painting-based artists with strong connections to distinct histories of craft practice. Petra Rodgers, Summer Portraits and Joshua Searle, Manos y Cuentas present two distinct approaches to creating artworks that consider the making of objects, object histories and how they hold and carry memory.  

Opening celebration Saturday 8 Aug, 2-4pm
Gallery open from 2pm on Saturday
Exhibition dates: 8-29 August, 2026
