INTRODUCING IV Michèle Heibel, Bettina Hill, Louise Morgan, Belinda Winkler 16 April to 12 May 2016
This is the fourth exhibition in our ‘Introducing series’. This edition showcases the work of four artists new to the Gallery. In this edition we are presenting the small, delicately etched clayboard works by Michèle Heibel, the woven paper wall-mounted sculptures by Bettina Hill, the layered, laser-cut and watercolour compositions by Louise Morgan, and Belinda Winkler’s monochrome and balanced stoneware vessels.
â–ś MICHĂˆLE HEIBEL I will keep these children in my bedroom cupboard, I thought. A spot away from hands and eyes, a safe place. Behind this door, there can be no damage. My collection of small lives grew. I would open the door of my cupboard and they were still there. Every hour of every day, they were there. Looking at me. Waiting. Asking. I would lie in bed at night and find myself getting up, feeling my way through the darkness and opening the cupboard door, just a crack. I am glad my cupboard is empty. A cupboard is a dangerous place.

▶ BELINDA WINKLER The moment where the form touches the ‘ground’ is, for me, a point of fascination: an intriguing space where the curve kisses the surface upon which it gently rests.
