Vestige is an exhibition responding to the Hamilton Inn sofa, one of the most significant colonial period design objects in the TMAG collection. The artists, Jan Hogan, Sarah Stubbs and Zoë Veness and TMAG’s Senior Curator of Decorative Arts, Peter Hughes, have responded to the sofa as both a vestige of the state’s colonial history and as a work of sophisticated design and craftmanship.
