‘When I looked around at the other galleries in the Blue Mountains, they were all filled with the same two things: paintings and landscapes,’ Kelly Heylen, Curator of Platform Gallery located in Katoomba, told ArtsHub.
‘I wanted to start a gallery that showcased more breadth, especially the work of artisans, who are working in areas such as textiles, ceramics and contemporary jewellery, marrying traditional practices with contemporary themes,’ she said.
