Curator’s statement
Potts Point is filled with charm and character. Unique restaurants and cafes, eclectic shops, and perfect walking distance make it one of the best of the Eastern suburbs. Potts Point is special to me because it was where I learned many life lessons and met so many lovely people. It has shown me the tiny details of Sydney's beauty and overall was a home for some time.
