Nichole Lubcke's 'Hold Me' is a collection of 100 tiny porcelain vessels, each one different, each one formed through slow, repetitive process that embeds touch into the work itself. For Nichole, the act of making is tender and deeply personal.

A year in two parts. A mere array of shapes and colours.

Gisela Züchner-Mogall took over 2,000 photos in 2025. Then she dismantled them.
Each photograph is stripped back to a thin stripe of colour, the image dissolved, the year reassembled as pure form.

SWB26 / The Memory of Trees
The South West Biennial extends across six partner venues throughout the south western regions, and over the weekend, Heloise Roberts and Moira Fearby's 'The Memory of Trees' opens at the Margaret River HEART - Nala Bardip Mia.

Extending on their work showcased in the South West Survey, the exhibition traces entangled geographies, where place becomes a site of shared belonging that invites viewers to remember what is precious, what is worth protecting, and to sit with the thought of losing it.

Crafted from drawn and painted plywood tiles, the artists' collaborative landscapes, with their modular construction, allow for both cohesion and dissonance, mirroring how collective and individual experiences of place diverge and merge.

28 May – 26 June 2026
Mezzanine Gallery, Margaret River HEART
