December 2020 Exhibitions
"Other Places" by Patricia Brickell
Gallery 1
07 to 27 December
Opening Saturday 12 December 3pm to 4.30pm
Painting is my story: Imagination vast: our greatness power ever.
The title and purpose of each work is first established, then I have a conversation with myself, thereafter it feels as if the work progresses while letting my intuition and inner voice roam to see what happens. I love to look at the progressing results which keeps me constantly entertained; trying this or that to see what effect it creates in the overall balanced work. I love the drama of the story when creating. Days, weeks, months and even years are happily spent editing and making changes until the painting is, for me, in complete harmony as the inner voice is silenced. It is creating that is important, not the canvas, until the moment it is finished and takes on its own personality between mind, body, spirit - a being, doing. For me creating -The colours are as words and painting is like making music and magic. It is always a joy to be in creative energy.

"Requiem" by Ruth Sumner
Gallery 2
07 to 27 December 2020
Opening Saturday 12 December 3pm to 4.30pm
This last year has brought massive upheaval and grief into my life and permanently changed the shape and colour of my everyday existence.
Over this time my husband and I have sold and bought homes, dealt with broken bones, house renovations, pneumonia and the deaths of my Father and both of our Mothers.
This last was of course the hardest trauma to deal with and as my own Mother died during the first week of lockdown grieving for her was caught up in the limbo that all of Aotearoa experienced during this extraordinary period of our shared history.
This body of work celebrates and mourns my Mother and serves as my visual eulogy for her life, it’s trials, challenges and triumphs.
Mum was an extraordinary woman who overcame much that would have defeated others born into her circumstances and I am grateful that she was my Mother.
Florence Constance Edge (nee Morton) 9/4/1929 - 4/4/2020
