What’s on your Plate?

On Saturday, we braved the ‘weather bomb’ and headed down to Papakura Art Gallery to see ‘What’s on your Plate?’. What’s on your Plate presents a variety of outcomes from a participatory assignment using the idea of a plate as a metaphor for the act of sharing as well as referring to versions of the adage “I have a lot on my plate”. Carolyn Milbank from our studio asked for particpants two years ago and those requests continue at the gallery too. There are over 100 participants whose submission you can see on a special website in the gallery. Some … Continue reading What’s on your Plate?

What’s on your Plate

Just before my visit to the Auckland Art Gallery, I read a blog post from Artista…thoughts on art in London about ‘Parallel Painting Paths – Mondrian and Nicholson converse at The Courtauld.‘  Walking to the Frances Hodgkins exhibition that day, I passed this painting by Ben Nicholson which looked so similar to the one in Chloe’s post: 1939 (composition). Much better in real life than this image shows. I saw a lot of Nicholson’s work when I was in south England last year.

A tentative start to the New Year…

I know I have been a bit quiet here but starting to get back into it again this year! Last weekend I ventured down to Hikuai Valley and spent Saturday with a painting group at the gorgeous Hikuai Hall – always a great day playing. This time I deliberatly(sp) took no painting equipment with me and used what ever materials and colours were in the collective art box. I really enjoyed it, and it makes you play and go in different directions. Two shown here – all about the range of hills that surround the Hikuai Valley. Hoping to get … Continue reading A tentative start to the New Year…
