Jacky Winter is pleased to present Find me a Castle — a book launch and solo exhibition by Beci Orpin.

Find me a dinosaur, a bucket and a spade, something to draw with, and pink lemonade. Find me some cheese with holes inside, a gecko, a lorikeet, a horse to ride.

To celebrate the launch of Beci Orpin’s latest publication, Find me a Castle a children’s look-and-find picture book published by Penguin, Beci brings together a look-and-find exhibition to match.

Illustrations from the book are extracted from the pages and transformed into a larger than- life-scale. The gallery walls are divided into giant pages where viewers can search for hidden objects – an elephant stamp, a beetle, even a giant toothbrush.

Join us for the launch on Saturday August 15, for wall-to-wall fun with kid’s activities, All Day Donuts and much, much more to discover. Bring the whole family – children and pets alike. ‘Find me a Castle’ books, prints and more will be available for purchase.
