Unfolding Practices: Matthew Hurdle in Conversation

Unfolding Practices at PARKER Contemporary offers audiences rare insight into the ideas, processes, and influences that shape contemporary print and papermaking today. Each talk creates an intimate space for collectors, peers, and the curious to encounter the art, process, and ideas of the artist that lies beneath the finished work.

PARKER Contemporary invites you to an exclusive conversation with Brisbane-based artist Matthew Hurdle, in dialogue with gallery director Emily Parker.

Hurdle’s practice transforms hessian and ash into richly layered handmade paper through time-intensive, meditative techniques. His work reflects on guilt, humility, and renewal, drawing on ancient Christian themes, the layering of Modernist art history, and a contemporary desire for material authenticity.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the artist and to take part in a conversation about process, influence, and meaning.

With limited places available, this is an event not to be missed. Bookings required.
