Early 2024 had two amazing exhibitions back to back which was kind of exhausting but so rewarding. I was introduced to a company called KnitUp and ended up creating a machine knitted piece for the first time. I also went back to using mixed media for the other project, in combination with my knitting. I'm so proud of how these works turned out.
Yucky, Adelaide Contemporary Experimental, 17 February to 4 May 2024
People seeing me and yet pretending not to see.
The fear is palpable sometimes.
They fear me because I’m yucky.
Yeah, drooling and weeing all over the place.
Like you ables don’t.
— excerpt from Fear by Sam Petersen
Yucky is a group exhibition that explores the personal and political complexities that exist as part of disabled experience. The exhibition’s premise and title has been led by artist Sam Petersen in conversation with ACE.
Featuring new and recent work by a mix of pivotal Australian and international contemporary artists, the exhibition centres the perspectives and experiences of those who are disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent.

An exhibition to make you excited about the work being produced by South Australian artists today.

Independently artist-led and curated by Ray Harris, the exhibition follows the model of Neoteric, which took over the North Eastern Concourse at the Adelaide Railway Station during the 2022 Adelaide Festival.
The exhibition is accompanied by performances, talks and a catalogue with responses to the works from 20 South Australian writers.
Through engagement and participation, Neoterica celebrates the innovation, depth and strength of artistic talent in South Australia.
Neoteric is testament to the resilience of SA’s visual artists.
