Resonance
Katrina Barter
Resonance brings together Katrina Barter’s recent paintings on unprimed jute, exploring memory as something felt and lived in the present. Using grid-based abstraction, saturated colour, and raw materiality, the works invite viewers to experience how memories surface with immediacy, intensity, and emotional presence beyond linear time.

Holding up the Sky
Brenda Goggs
In Holding up the Sky, Brenda recalls the children’s story about Chicken Little asking the question whether the sky is falling in. The ending is rather ambiguous depending on which version you heard as a child.
Weaving is like holding up the sky. You start from the bottom and aim for the clouds. It's like history, where facts and fictions hold up our understanding of what it means to belong in a colonised country like Australia.
Each tapestry is accompanied by a poem, which reflecting the idea of 'voice' in interpreting our cultural understanding and using words to think about pictures.
Exhibitions run from Friday 20 February to Sunday 15 March 2026
Gallery opening times: Wednesday to Sunday, 12 - 5pm.
M16 Artspace operates on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. We honour and pay our respects to their traditional custodians. We acknowledge this land always was and always will be the country of Australia’s First Nations People. Sovereignty was never ceded.
