The Last Jar of Rosehip Jam was an exhibition of photography by Otis Burian Hodge.
The exhibition was comprised by both 35mm and medium format images that explored family relationships and memories, represented through the documentation of places, objects and repetitive habits. These habits can change over time as relationships changed and developed and the places and sites that are documented changed and evolved.
This was a project that has developed out of Burian Hodge’s childhood journeys on the Hume Highway, between Sydney and his grandmother’s Albury home.
About the Artist
Otis Burian Hodge is a photographic artist and gallery curator based on Gadigal land. His practice involves both digital and analogue photography, with an interest in bookmaking. Burian Hodge explores the challenge of archiving specific feelings, memories and localities around him and translating them to a wider audience – sharing a moment with those who don’t share in it.
He creates work that aims to be identifiable and relatable, yet pushes the audience to imagine beyond its frame and incorporate their own lived experiences.
