Bridget Hillebrand - Into the Deep

Now to September 28, 2025, Gallery 3

LRG is thrilled to present a major new solo exhibition by acclaimed Victorian artist Bridget Hillebrand, inspired by the coastal waters of Southern Victoria. Into the Deep is a new large-scale installation informed by Hillebrand’s ongoing concern for ecological shifts occurring beneath the ocean’s surface.

Spanning 12 metres, this relief printed, hand cut and hand-assembled corpus of washi paper explores the precarity of deep-sea environments, which remain largely unmapped, unreachable and invisible to humans.

The work invites reflection on our emotional and ethical relationships with the unseen: what does it mean to care for something we cannot touch, measure, or fully know?

Hillebrand’s delicate paper strips mimic underwater movement, light refraction and fragility. The work is accompanied by an original soundtrack created in collaboration with Erasmus Toscano and incorporates recordings captured during one of Hillebrand’s dives at Mushroom Reef on the Mornington Peninsula.

By combining these elements, Into the Deep becomes a vessel carrying questions, empathy, and connection across distances and between bodies, both aquatic and human.
