art works by DENICE SYMONS
Gallery Two
Tuesday 26 March to Sunday 28 April at 2pm
This series of works has been created to find a sense of calm in a chaotic world. Quietness in a storm Order in the centre of chaos. Geometric shapes are contained, structured, and predictable. Using universal shapes common to many cultures these shapes are simple in their structure and often complex in their meaning and application. I strive to find a balance in the imbalance Depth and variety of colour within a reduced colour palate Directional indicators to offer opposing visual directions Textured surfaces to remind the viewer of the underlying chaos. Throughout the series of works I have created over the years, the use of geometric shapes has been a constant factor in their creation. I have made reference to this in works ranging from abstracted landscapes to low relief panels which have been influenced by Taniko patterns and the observation of similar patterns in other cultures.

Emotive Bloom by Sarndra Cowley
Emotive Bloom is a captivating collection of sculptures that harness the language of flowers to convey a spectrum of deeply personal emotional life experiences. Each piece in this collection is meticulously crafted using a combination of wool fibres and mixed media, resulting in a visual and tangible representation of complex human emotions from depths of sorrow to the heights of joy. These sculpture capture the essence of the artist's shared emotional journey.
The intention of this thought-provoking collection is to invite viewers to explore the rich tapestry of human emotions through the language of flowers. These sculptures serve as a reminder that our emotional experiences, like the ever changing seasons are an integral part of the human journey and they can be expressed and celebrated through art.
Each piece in this collection is a testament to the power of creativity in conveying the depth of complexity of our emotions.

My Dreamscapes by Arina de Lange-Moore
Gallery Four (Education Wing)
Tuesday 26 March to Sunday 28 April at 2pm
My interpretation of landscapes in New Zealand and elsewhere.
I have always loved drawing and painting since I was little. My first introduction to oil paints was glorious. I was fifteen. There was paint everywhere, but I produced an impressionistic painting of an old gnarled tree, which I was very proud of! I am self-taught. To get to know effects and colours, I made copies of prints of other artists. I have been exhibiting at a gallery in South Africa called Art d’Afrique, and took part in group exhibitions at the “Tina Skukan” gallery while living in South Africa. I was invited to have an exhibition in a gallery in San Diego, on the border of Mexico, but the cost of sending my work over was prohibitive. I was also invited to have an exhibition at a gallery in Agadir, Morocco, but once again it was too expensive to send my work over. I have been living in New Zealand for 6 years, I love the beautiful scenery here and hope to “capture” more of the dreamscapes here in future.
