Blockwork | Fiona Little

Fiona Little’s exhibition Blockwork examines the interplay of light, shadow, and geometric form. Using controlled lighting, simple wooden blocks are transformed into architectural structures where negative space becomes integral. The work reflects an interest in repetition, balance, and material presence, inviting close attention to texture, tone, and spatial relationships.

📣 Artist Talk 📣

In Conversation with the Artists and Curator of The Quiet Between

M16 Artspace studio artists Ross Andrews, Olivia Gates & Saskia Haalebos in conversation with curator Eason Lin discuss The Quiet Between. The exhibition cultivates a quiet and open environment in which meaning gradually emerges through attentive viewing, encounters with artworks, and sustained observation. Hear from the artists themselves to deepen your understanding of their practice as its explored in this exhibition and reflect on your own place in The Quiet Between.

Chutespace | Murky Water

Julie Bradley

The form of the oyster is a sensual and distinctive one, which is described in this little folding book using free flowing gouache lines. The brackish water where there were once mangroves and an abundance of food, is now a popular bayside swimming beach and public park. Remnant middens are evident all around this area where you can see the remains of many kinds of shellfish including oysters.

Gallery 3 | junkyard

Charlie Jay and Grace Walters

What are we building for? And where are we going? As we strive for progress and abundance, are we failing to appreciate what's already there? And do we really know what we are creating? The natural and the constructed worlds are at odds with each other, and a growing junkyard spirals out of sight and out of control. Put on your hard hats - it's sure to be a wild ride.
