Arts Council Nelson welcomes Janja Heathfield as the new Refinery ArtSpace Manager
ACN extend great thanks to Ann Braunsteiner for her work in managing and developing the Refinery ArtSpace. Although sad to accept her resignation we wish her all the best with her future endeavours.
ACN is thrilled to introduce Janja Heathfield who has taken on the role as Refinery ArtSpace Manager and look forward to working with her in the years ahead. Janja says:
" I’m very excited to to take on the role of Kaitiaki of this beautiful space that Ann, Lee and the ACN team have so lovingly transformed.
I have huge boots to fill. I have spent the last few years supporting the arts in Nelson from a perspective of music and sound. My passion is the space at the intersections; in the conversations and interactions when we collaborate. We have a highly engaging and interesting programme of exhibitions coming up. We’ll be opening up the garden during the summer with some lunchtime events and we will be introducing our wee outdoor gallery space. I would like to warmly invite you to drop in and korero."

Dii Moffat - Paintings 'Moffatt (Macandrew Bay, New Zealand) is an artist who mainly works with painting. By questioning the obvious, Moffatt finds that movement reveals the un-noticed. The artist also considers movement as a metaphor for change. Her paintings isolate the movements of subjects and/or objects. By doing so, new sequences are created which reveal an inseparable relationship between object and hyperobject. By applying abstraction, she tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to involve the viewer in a manner that is sometimes physical, and believes in the idea of subject following form in a work. Her works directly respond to the surrounding environment and use everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. With a conceptual approach, she creates intense personal moments created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. Her works doesn’t reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. Dii Moffatt currently lives and works in Dunedin.’ Centre for Fine Woodworking - Master Programme of Fine Furniture
