Exhibited at George Paton Gallery in May 2016, ‘The Emotional Life of Objects’ is a collaborative project between the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, Europe 1100 –1800, and The University of Melbourne. Curated by Penelope Lee and Kate Richards, the group exhibition was  'concerned with objects and their absence,'  looking at how 'artworks represent the act of remembering, and invite questions about emotional resonance and our intimate relationship with the material world'.
