The exhibition at Scope Gallery in Fitzroy was the second commercial solo show. Presented in 1992, it featured a body of work grounded in personal history — including paintings based on pages from the family passport used to immigrate to Australia. These works explored themes of identity, displacement, and memory, layering personal narrative with painterly abstraction. Set within the culturally dynamic context of Brunswick Street, the exhibition marked a deepening of Alamidis’s practice, where intimate experience intersected with broader questions of place and belonging.
This current body of work is a mixture of painting and sculpture. The paintings show concerns with surface qualities and include symbolic motifs. The sculptures are made from weathered found objects. 'What I look for is an instinctive marriage of materials rather than a technical victory over the materials used. Experimentation and evidence of physical labour are a necessary ingredient of the work.
The painting surface show evidence of weathering and decay. The images and motifs are either buried or blurred, or float in a void. A vague attempt to connect them is made through the use of type. The manipulation of these surfaces reveals "keys" to what has gone before.
