my faith don't mean a thing Pat Hoffie’s forthcoming exhibition My Faith Don’t Mean A Thing will showcase recent works by this highly accomplished Brisbane-based artist. On display at FireWorks Gallery will be twelve modest sized paintings. These works continue the theme portrayed throughout Hoffie’s work in recent years; the viewer is questioned about their deeper notions of home, whether it be homesickness or simply the yearning for one’s homeland in contemporary Australian life.
