Bespoke Utopia presents Canberra artists whose practices embrace the principles of slow design, grounded in care, material knowledge and long-term thinking.

Played
Lesley Anderson
CHUTESPACE
Opening Thursday 22 October, 2026, 6-8pm
Friday 23 October - Sunday 15 November 2025
Played began as a playful experiment with a tight colour palette and four fixed plaid screen prints. After a busy year, it became a way to unwind, take chances, and let go. Transformed into 3D objects for Chutespace, the work celebrates colour, risk, and surrender within safe boundaries.
