Anna Carey’s Magic + Memory: make me a home

Anna Carey’s Magic + Memory: make me a home

Our new Children’s Gallery exhibition is your home away from home at HOTA.

Gold Coast artist Anna Carey creates miniature models of houses and the rooms inside them. Her work has been spectacularly brought to life in an oversized model created for play and daydreams.

What is real? Where could you use your imagination? There are magical and memorable moments to discover as we invite you to ‘make a home’ in our Children’s Gallery.

Entry is free.

Presented by HOTA, Home of the Arts with Anna Carey

#About the artist

Born 1987 Tweed Heads NSW, lives Gold Coast QLD and Los Angeles USA

Anna Carey is an Australian artist based between the Gold Coast and Los Angeles, whose work overlaps photography, model-making, film and drawing. Through memory and imagination, she creates architectural spaces based on familiar iconic architecture that she photographs. The camera lens magnifies the model with all its imperfections and reminds the viewer that the photograph has been constructed with a miniature object.

Anna Carey completed a Bachelor of Visual Media with Honours (first class) at Queensland College of Art and recently received her Doctorate (DVA) with QCA. She has exhibited extensively in Australia and the US: Photo la; Artereal Gallery; Andrew Baker Art Dealer; Dlux Media Arts, Qld Centre for Photography; Sophie Gannon Gallery; Tweed Regional Gallery; and the Museum of Brisbane.

She has been shortlisted in numerous prizes including The Churchie National Emerging Art Award, the Queensland Regional Art Awards and the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award. Her work is represented in public collections including HOTA Gallery, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Gallery of Australia, Artbank, University of Queensland, Caboolture Regional Art Gallery, as well as private collections.
