What's on...

Only 1 more wee...Until 1 June.

At Refinery Art Space - only one more week to 'consume' these three installation based shows by three local artists. 
Feel, listen, think. Three key words that describe well these offerings and what it means to be human. 
Left to right: May it be Jane Tan with 'Every Thread I ever...' [feel], or John Cohen-Du Four with 'Sonic Tarot' [listen] or Maggy Johnston 'Our Place Our Time' [think].

Submerging Artist

We welcome Georgie Merry in our Foyer Gallery with her work 'Submerging Artist'. 
A wonderful collection of Limited Edition prints and other trinkets.
Georgie Merry is currently completing her studies at the Learning Connection in Wellington.
In the artist's words...
'Making things allows me to put things out into the world gently. 
I feel less pressure communicating through visual art. 
I am slowly learning to navigate sadness & frustration in our social and political existence & in the world or close by.
Accepting that life and being valuable, is not about happiness, or being loved by/ loving everyone I meet.
 This multi-media collection of works are conversations with myself and reflections of what I see. A commentary on identity, politics, and life in a world where we are constantly reminded that the end is nigh. This collection is inspired by the internet, magazines, commedia dell'arte and political newspaper cartoons.'

Meet the artists Saturday 11 May, 1 to 2pm. These upcoming three shows, by three local artists have a mutual concept, the Human conditions within our environment.
'Sonic Tarot' by John Cohen-Du Four offers a listening experience in the aim to allow for a meditative moment. Maybe come with a question to encounter how sound is an essential tool connecting our brain waves for a heightened perception of our inner surroundings and quests.
