The first iteration, Sixteen Things I Brought Home from New York, was created with stylist Stephanie Stamatis and exhibited in Melbourne in November 2025. The project transformed everyday mementos — salt shakers and syrup jars collected
by Chris from New York hospitality institutions — into a series of large-format posters.
The exhibition featured a hero poster design, large-scale vinyl installations and a display of the original objects. Supported by Lighthand Wines and Yumbo Soda, the event drew a large audience of artists, designers, stylists, photographers, and other industry peers.
