Dementia – Tilly Leahy @ galleryeight

Sydney local and COFA 2011 graduate Tilly Leahy opened her latest exhibition at galleryeight last Friday night. There was something undeniably beautiful and devastating about the collection of portraits focusing on her grandmother’s struggle with dementia.

It was a deeply personal collection, executed with the respect and reverence that the subject deserved. Simple compositions and clean matt prints let the portraits speak for themselves. As we’ve come to expect, galleryeight hosted a fantastic opening night.
