Olivia Gates used her residency at M16 to create glass tools that could be brought out into the landscape to be painted and printed in place. First sculpting glass roller forms from wax, Gates casts recycled CRT Television screens to create a surface and weight appropriate for watercolour monotype printing.

Beyond the Palette is a journey that moves beyond the visual, inviting all peoples to connect, celebrate and learn.

It’s not just colour- it’s emotion, storytelling and a powerful way of sharing culture through art.

Our artworks are rooted in our connection to Country, self, family and community. Each symbol, each animal and each mark honours our family, our ancestors and voices that were not always fully heard.

The Scope of Touch

The Scope of Touch is from a series of four-colour screenprints that forms part of the artist's ongoing exploration of femininity, vulnerability, autonomy, and the lived experience of inhabiting a fat body. The image of the artist's hands upon her own flesh are at odds with the intimate nature of the hyper-cropped image, reflecting the tensions between self-criticism and self-compassion, exposing the ways vulnerability and resilience coexist rather than oppose one another.
