BOUND X Underground Tapestries was a wonderful 3 day event curated by Gianni Posadas-Sen and Megan Kenna held in August 2024. Showcasing 33 Artists of a variety of media, the question ‘Do I stay or do I go?’ was asked and creatively considered.

Do I Stay or Do I Go?
Artistic response by Isabella Hayes as seen in BOUND X Underground Tapestries.

These works are an intersection of internal and external landscapes, and the process of reconciling and finding comfort in these spaces. 

Exploring the complexities of identity and intimacy, with both the self and the environmental. Do I stay or do I go? Is a question ever present in my queerness and relationship to Lutruita/Tasmania. Such a small community can make it hard to branch out, yet such a beautiful body with a wealth of interconnections. Situated in such serene landscape which shapes my connections and grounds me. 

There is not one certain answer to be found in these works, but a wavering journey into what this means for me.
