Belinda Winkler & Kevin Perkins AM: Melaleuca
A collaborative project between ceramicist and sculptor Belinda Winkler and Kevin Perkins AM, one of Australia's foremost furniture designers and sculptors.
In Tasmania some simply call him [Kevin Perkins] the Master, a consequence of both a body of work seen to be peerless and a lifetime of teaching that has inspired many. His reputation reaches far from his island home and his influence beyond the parameters of the timber furniture with which he made his name. So coveted is his work that American buyers fly by chartered jet to Tasmania simply to meet the maker.

At the edge of the minimal, Winkler’s work conducts a stripped down potential for narrative, exploiting our almost inevitable tendency to see meaning in form and life and movement in the curve.
