The final part to the body of work that began with Between Husband and Wife, Enduring Parallels, The Lock Up Newcastle, NSW 2014 and This Love is Huge, Campbelltown Arts Centre, NSW presented late 2015. Both these exhibitions saw Whalen and her husband as duel performers, in ritualistic performances exploring the idea of romantic love and endless devotion once a domestic relationship has been established.
