The artist explores the theme of communication in a three-part exhibition with Bec Bromley Humphries and Inga Hanover.
“We are forgetting how important handwriting still is … let’s not totally abandon it and think of how much emotion we can put into writing a letter to somebody,” she said.
Jakovac said the three exhibitions were connected, as they were all about identity.
“Inga’s is about home-making and Bec’s is re-defining yourself as a female,” she said.
Humphries said her first solo exhibition explored the concept of femininity.
“It’s about all sorts of female stories, of the way we express ourselves,” she said.
“There’s a lot of unusual materials, one has real hair stitched into it – very delicate pieces I think express feminine qualities.”
The exhibition opens Thursday and is on show until Sunday, October 31.
