Gas Meter Stories: Discovering Delight in Ordinary Spaces by Sanchia Draper


  • Artemisia Gallery & Event Space 248 High St Windsor Australia (map)

Gas meters are so familiar a part of the landscape that we stop seeing them - they are functional objects in ordinary spaces. Yet a closer look at these spaces, noticing the interaction between the gas meter and its immediate environment, can reveal a story.

It may be the angle or position of the gas meter in relation to its surroundings that suggests a story; or the way the environment imbues the gas meter with character.

This collection of photographs of gas meters presents stories. Stories can help us make sense of the world; they can foster connection, create a moment of recognition, and enliven a playful imagination. The intention of this collection is to encourage viewers to discover a story within each image, and to take that practice of discovery into a way of seeing ordinary spaces.
