Meet Arwin Hidayat, an artist based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, whose vibrant works feature in our IAG Kids exhibition, Make Yourself At Home – a playful, sensory exhibition that explores what home means to children. Using paint, clay, and traditional crafts such as batik and Wayang puppetry, Arwin celebrates his community, culture and the stories that connect people across generations. Through colourful shapes, memories and shared traditions, his artworks reflect the importance of family, belonging and home.

"Home for me is a place where I feel comfortable and grow to learn anything. Home is a source of creative inspiration for me. I prefer being at home rather than going out or going out without a purpose. At home, I can express all my ideas, grow into maturity, and respect myself. For me, home is a place where I can think logically and solve all life's problems wisely."

Ties that bind asks viewers to reflect on their own relationships to place. What binds us to home? What - or who - makes belonging possible? How do we carry our histories with us, and how do they shape the lands we inhabit?
Perhaps the ties that bind us are made not only of geography, but of memory, care, struggle, imagination, and the enduring human desire to situate ourselves within a larger story. These threads, when woven together, form the map of who we are.
An Ipswich Art Gallery exhibition.

Installation view with works by Sangeeta Sandrasegar, Michael Cook, Deb Mostert, William Yang, Lionel Fogarty.

Meet Alice Nightingale, a Tulmur/Ipswich-based wearable and textile artist whose playful soft sculptures feature in our IAG Kids exhibition, Make Yourself At Home. Through familiar objects and comforting memories, Alice invites children to explore the many ways we experience home. Drawing inspiration from everyday life, family traditions and the joy of making, her work celebrates the warmth, creativity and connection that home can bring.

"As a full-time maker, home is so much more than where I live and work. The kitchen is where I bake up ideas as I wait for a cake to rise. I see new sewing patterns take shape as I make the bed and fold away clothes. Every day inspiration comes from the comfort my home provides. Growing up in a food obsessed family, I find the greatest joy in the kitchen. Sometimes the best creations are fuelled by that wonderful feeling of a new recipe turning out just right!"
