"The beach is where Hawksbridge collects materials, both
physically and psychologically, for her creations. She has
come to see the lake as a creator of abstract landscape, in
the form of the beach, in a way that is analogous to her own
abstract creations."
Exhibition Notes: Rhona Wenger, Curator
"The detail and the distance are significant of what is here
at the moment, and what is constant in the millennia of the
past and future. The details are as temporary as a squashed
pop can. The distance is as continuous as a line at the
horizon of the planet. That line on the visual edge of the
lake is a compelling sight; it is clean, minimal and
limitless."
