Heathen

Overview

Mailbox Art Space is snug. Snug to the point where it's difficult to imagine one artist being able to squeeze their works into the space (which amounts to a mounted mailbox and its surrounds), let alone four. But that's precisely what Belle Bassin, Leanne Hermosilla, Valentina Palonen and Anna Parry have set out to do in Heathen, their first collaboration for the small Flinders Lane art space.

Showing in the foyer of the historic Pawson House building from July 6-30, the exhibition is an exploration of "mysticism, the numinous and the unknowable".  The combination of four dramatically different styles in such a compact space promises to make for a compelling study of what lies behind the veil of the tangible.
