TransFORMERS 2017/2018 Exhibition
People’s Choice Winner Announced
The community have voted. A beautiful painting by Charlotte Turner was ‘transformed’ into a 3D artwork by Gaelynne Pound – taking out the People’s Choice Winner in Arts Council Nelson’s recent TRANSFORMERS Exhibition.

Transformers was a community arts project where people of all ages in the Nelson Tasman region were challenged to create a 3D object derived from a child’s drawing or painting.
The artworks were on display at Elma turner Library during January, and 550 People’s Choice votes were received and established Gaelynne Pound and Charlotte Turner's entry as their favourite..

Gaelynne brought Charlotte’s painting to life by modelling hot air balloons using paper mache, hand-crafted twine baskets, and a stunning silk sky backdrop.
Transformers was kindly supported by Warehouse Stationery Nelson, who have donated wonderful ‘arty’ prizes for our People’s Choice winners.
