I Fall to Pieces brings together artworks by Naarm-based artists Matthew Harris and Nicholas Currie that traverse topics of mental health and healing. Rich and differing First Nations materials and processes are deployed along with key tenants of Western Abstraction, offering conceptual and immediate encounters with paint and form.

Matthew Harris, of mixed European and Koorie descent, debases dominant hierarchies through socially critical painting and sculpture.

Nicholas Currie is an emerging artist, curator, and descendant of the Mununjali clan of Yugambeh people of Brisbane and Beaudesert.
