M16 Artspace is pleased to announce the opening of three new exhibitions.

Opening Thursday 14th May, 6 - 8pm

This is a free event!

Gallery 1 | The Quiet Between

M16 Artspace Studio Artists

The Quiet Between is a group exhibition bringing together M16 studio artists, aiming to create a space that is not predefined, presenting artistic practices that engage with diverse dimensions of landscape, material, memory, and perception. The exhibition cultivates a quiet and open environment in which meaning gradually emerges through attentive viewing, encounters with artworks, and sustained observation.

Gallery 2 | 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.

Gallery 3 | junkyard

Charlie Jay & Grace Walters

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. Humans and animals are carving out pockets to survive in an ever growing shadow of the junkyard - what we wish to ignore but refuses to disappear. Ghosts haunt and panic grows, and you'll wonder if it's all beyond our control.

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.

While on residency in Kogarah Bay in Sydney, Julie Bradley used the processes of drawing and observation as a way of reconnecting to the place Bradley spent her early years, alongside an exploration into learning more about first nations people living in the area.

Murky water was drawn on Bidjigal country.
