Our Artist
Trinity Morris is an Australian visual artist celebrated for her playful, whimsical style and evocative use of vibrant colour and texture. Her work explores what it means to be human and our inextricable connection to nature. A finalist of the prestigious Blake Prize, Trinity’s pieces are held in private collections across Australia, Europe and the United States.
The Charity
For this project, Trinity’s charity of choice is Camp Quality – a charity close to her heart that brings positivity, fun and laughter back into the lives of kids facing cancer. Camp Quality’s programs and services help families build optimism and resilience through community, education and fun. They are there for kids aged 0-15 dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of a sibling, parent, or carer, every step of the way. Crema will be donating to Camp Quality on Trinity’s behalf.
The Inspiration
When we connected with Trinity Morris, we were drawn to the emotional depth behind her bright, spirited artworks. Her unique ability to channel both joy and vulnerability through visual storytelling resonated deeply with our vision for Gallery in the Sky. Trinity worked closely with Camp Quality to create a concept that reflects the imagination, strength, and wonder of childhood – especially in the face of adversity. The goal was to produce a piece of artwork that reflects Camp Quality’s mission – building optimism and resilience through community, education and fun.
What’s in the Sky?
Trinity’s piece, titled Through the Eyes of a Child, presents a vivid and uplifting work of portraiture and imagination. A smiling child gazes out, one eye enlarged in playful exaggeration. Surrounding them is a dreamlike scene: rolling green hills, a flowing river, a white sailboat, and monarch butterflies rising into the orange sky. The palette is bright and bold, with the outlined childlike forms evoking a sense of wonder and strength. Suspended high above, the piece stands as a beacon of joy and resilience, celebrating how children see the world, and expresses Camp Quality’s mission to bring light and laughter to families touched by cancer.
The Site
The Canopy by Gamuda Land is a striking new development rising in the heart of South Melbourne, located in the up-and-coming precinct within the Fishermans Bend. Surrounded by the city’s vibrant markets, cultural venues, and lush parks, it blends architectural sophistication with green design and community-focused amenities. Guided by biophilic principles, The Canopy at 272 Normanby Road South Melbourne is set to be a new standard for authentic, meaningful sustainability in living and design.
About Gallery in the Sky
The Gallery in the Sky program is a charitable initiative established by Crema Constructions in 2015. Every year, Crema Constructions uses its high-profile construction sites to provide a platform for budding Australian artists to showcase their work while supporting a charity of their choice. Crema Constructions sees this as a unique opportunity to give back to the people of Melbourne, a city we are lucky to call home.
Crema is proud to deliver this project in partnership with Gamuda Land and even prouder to see Gallery in the Sky continue high above the city – where art meets purpose, and where messages of hope can travel far.
