Spanning three decades of evocative, thoughtful practice, In the echo chamber is the largest exhibition to date from award-winning Australian artist Jennifer Mills. Opening at Bunjil Place on 9 August and running until 16 November 2025, this major survey brings together over 100 works, tracing Mills’ recurring themes of identity, memory, disguise, and the fragmented nature of images.
Mills, known for her distinctive watercolour technique, often starts with found photographs before obscuring or altering them—cutting, erasing, or layering with oil pastel to distort and reinvent.
Covering everything from cult TV references and childhood to disability and costume, the exhibition is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
“I was thrilled when Penny Teale, curator from Bunjil Place first approached me about this survey exhibition,” Mills says.
“It will be my first opportunity to see my work in dialogue with one another in one space. This is a privilege that I will share with my son, Darcy Luker, who has collaborated on many works with me over the past few years.”
Currently a finalist in the Dobell Drawing Prize and long recognised through major awards and exhibitions, Mills’ work continues to strike a chord with its quiet power and emotional complexity.
In the echo chamber runs at Bunjil Place, Narre Warren. Full program details at bunjilplace.com.au.
