Panacea exhibited at Rubicon ARI in September 2016 and included both paintings and a large fur room installation entitled “The Peace Room”. 65m of fake fur was installed with custom dyed muslin, cushions and a fur chair. Behind the fur, a few kilograms of rose quartz was installed. Panacea explored the madness that then seemed strange at that stage, the potential for Donald Trump as President, Brexit etc. This was a place to escape to and find peace.

Visitors to The Peace Room were invited to remove their shoes and sit in the space. It was a space where there was no religion, no gender or sexuality, no politics, participants could just think of peace as a collective conscious.




The Peace Room was an interactive pink fake fur room exhibited at Rubicon ARI in Melbourne. Visitors were invited to interact with the room and could only think of Peace.
