Over its 184 years Hadley's has seen many secrets and scandals, the hotel is woven with tales of convicts, entrepreneurs, celebrities-past and countless other patrons of days gone by. The profound number of exciting and interesting untold stories are still being revealed to this day. ​The Gilded Encounters exhibition explores and highlights elements of Hadley's' rich history and illustrates these wonderful stories in the most unique way.  https://www.hadleyshotel.com.au/gilded-encounters.html




Sarah Stubbs uses porcelain and the ceramic process to capture atmospheric vignettes from the interior spaces of Hadley's. Fleeting, poetic and antique-looking. Stubbs uses the form of a cameo brooch to capture these distills sensations.
