Randwick artist Wendy Lessick Bookatz brought family folklore, memory, and her father’s ducks to her latest solo exhibition, Di Zun & Katchkes (The Sun & Ducks), from the 3-8 November 2026

“At the finissage, I spoke about how a year earlier I had stood in the same space surrounded by paintings about violence against women, family history and the memory of my great-aunt Sarah Chaya Krikst.

This year, the ducks arrived.

I mentioned seeing Robyn Kahukiwa’s exhibition My Ancestors Are Always With Me.

I think my ancestors are always with me too.”

To my friends, family, new friends, fellow artists, neighbours, & to everyone who was there & those who could not make it, again, I thank you. Your support in all its forms is what allows me to keep creating, & I am so very appreciative of your kindness & love.
