Overview
BRINK is a four-person show presenting new and recent work by Karolina Albricht, Gabriela Giroletti, Laura Porter, and Lottie Stoddart. The exhibition brings together four distinct practices that each engage with states of transition - between material and image/form, interior and exterior, surface and depth, absence and presence.
The notion of the brink is understood here as a spatial and conceptual threshold: a point of tension preceding transformation. Across painting and sculpture, the artists explore how forms emerge, falter, or shift at these edges. Stoddart’s narrative constructions, Giroletti’s ambiguous visual worlds, Albricht’s spatial environments, and Porter’s textile-to-sculpture transformations each locate their work within zones of instability, transition, and potential.
Collectively, these practices examine the brink as both a formal and imaginative site - where boundaries are tested, spaces reconfigured, and new possibilities take shape.
