BEINDA WINKLER - SEXY TOUCHY STUFF
On Friday last week, Robin Roberts a new local friend (photographic and ceramic artist) , introduced me to "Bel" Winkler. She was microwaving some sexy shaped plaster at the time of our introduction. She imparted some post graduate advice as she discussed her latest show. Today I went to see Energy and Equilibrium at the Handmark Gallery, Hobart. Belinda's first composition won the Mona Award at the 2010 City of Hobart Art Prize.
"Energy and Equilibrium explores relationships between forms. Positioned closely, where curve almost meets curve, a tension is created, activating the space between. I am as much concerned with the spaces around, between and within, as with the forms themselves" (Belinda Winker, Artists Statement, February 2011)
Her polished porcelain "vessles" are smooth on the outside and glazed on the inside. They invite you to touch them... but with the starting price at over $1,000, I wasn't going to try.
