A Together In Art Pocket Exhibition curated by Justin Paton

Justin Paton is head curator of international art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales

It’s not just the coffee, it’s looking forward to the coffee.

And the light on the table afterwards.

It’s nature at the window: greenness framed.

And a wall that seems to hold the day’s sunlight.

It’s things so well used that they turn into characters.

And things so vibrant they let go of their names.

It’s a room of your own: your being, your seeing.

It’s a mess, yes, but it’s your mess.

This is your great indoors.
