I PUT MY FOOT IN MY MOUTH / Exhibition

## Neeva Malla

### 19 February – 1 March 2026

### Opens Wednesday 18 February, 6 – 8pm

We’ve been working hard to get this program up and running & it’s finally time to show the fruit of our labour. To open the exhibitions for 2026 is recent National Art School graduate @neeva_malla with work made under the Rachael Helmore Emerging Artist Mentoring Program.
In memory of Rachael Helmore we have established a sponsored and more formal version of our Mentoring Program. Rachael tragically died in 2023 and we’ve had many people contact us including Christie’s London where Rachael work on a paid internship through Sydney University. Staff at Christie’s London declared Rachael as their best intern ever, and have generously offered to sponsor the program along with the Helmore family. We’re so very grateful to be able to facilitate this program.

As part of the mentorship Neeva has been working under the guide of Scratch Director Carmel Byrne and has the use of a free studio at Scratch Art Space for two months to finish off her work.
