Long Way’s Pretty
Zoe Freney
September 2026
Long Way’s Pretty is an exhibition of new works by Adelaide artist Zoe Freney.
The paintings and sculptural objects muse on the ongoing project of parenthood from a particular vantage point, longing backwards and hoping forwards. Knitting together experiences of life with my children, with memories of my own childhood, the exhibition is about joy, nostalgia, love and loss. In a fairy tale that I used to read to my sons, Monty Python’s Terry Jones tells us, ‘The straight way’s short, But the long way’s pretty (Fairy Tale, 1987). This missive has inspired many a family meandering, for why take the short-cut when there’s magic in the long way round?
