Right at the start, when you walk in, you find yourself facing four large, intriguing but very different installation works.<P>There are Louise Rippert's families of white, spherical ceramic pots, clustered around a translucent, quilted, paper backdrop; Anna Finlayson's spliced sheets of black and pink paper, some with little windows like Advent calendars, and tiny boxes scattered across one wall, such as the remnants of a Christmas present-wrapping session; in another corner is Michael Sibel's cylindrical, steel cone; and in the centre of the room are Andrea Meadow's suspended muslin and latex shrouds, screen printed with biblical exhortations.<P><A HREF="http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/07/30/1027926874069.html" TARGET=_blank><B>More</B></A><BR>
