Serene Thain – Architectural
Installation
January 7 2013 -
February 9 2013
The materiality of everyday
objects in our daily environment is the main interest and
focus in many of Serene Thain’s artworks. These objects
– found in our drawers, cupboards, bags, shelves in
discount stores or hardware shops – are so much a part of
our lives that we hardly notice them.
In the Curiosity Cabinet: Ontogeny
by Michelle Wilkinson
Exhibition runs
16 January – February 2013
Michelle takes
inspiration from elements in nature that are usually too
small to be detected by the naked eye or are skimmed over
and taken for granted. "I magnify them to create jewellery
that contains forms that are at once familiar and unknown,
derived from nature, creative explorations of scientific
ideas". - Michelle Wilkinson

New glass pieces by John
Penman
Growing up between Aotearoa and Hong
Kong, John has been influenced by the exotic tropical
colours of the Far East, and the rugged natural beauty of
New Zealand. His work is a melting-pot of Italian
techniques, Chinese design influences and pure Pacific
flavour.
