Jenny Tubby is the 2012 Artist in Residence at the Wollongong City Gallery, a residency that will cumulate in the exhibition Octagonal Rooms (26 May -26 August 2012). This opportunity provided Tubby the space and resources to see out an idea that was born in her final year of university. The genesis of this exhibition, now retitled the Original Room, was produced in 2009. It was first seen in the Wollongong University’s graduating exhibition of the same year, Grad Wrap, and in 2010 travelled to Perth for the National Graduate Show Hatched. Now executed in 2012, the original room is seen with many intriguing extensions.
