25/09/2026

For the exhibition 'Sunburn', Gadigal/Sydney-based photographic artist and costume maker Gerwyn Davies created new work that reimagines the ephemera, icons, and imagery of the nation’s glittering ‘sunrise strip’.

In 2025, Davies was invited to undertake a residency at the Gallery’s Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio. Spending time exploring the Tweed Regional Museum collection, Davies drew inspiration from its holdings and ultimately refashioned postcards, souvenirs and signs in sequins and spandex. Sunburn is the outcome of that residency.

The exhibition is Davies’ love letter to Tweed and the borderlands – a declaration of deep affection for the lurid, the leisurely and the lowbrow.

'Sunburn: Gerwyn Davies' continues until 22 November 2026
