My Friends Are Home II is the second installation of a collection of Millie Dunstall and Cheska Brown’s photographic works, currently showing at Window Gallery.
Presented on window vinyl and splashed with painted buttermilk, the show sees these semi-transparent photographs depicting the artist's friends in their flats in Tāmaki Makaurau – inviting a certain intimacy and conversation between the images and the viewer themselves. Like a time capsule, the photographs carry qualities of nostalgia and sentimentality, allowing the viewer to have insight into not only what those intimate relationships look like in the artist's lives, but also their own.
Sof had a kōrero with Millie Dunstall and Cheska Brown about the show and their collaborative practice.
