Sarah Walker-Holt reconfigures collected materials to create jewellery that consists of multiple components, which she terms Situational Personalities. These components engage the wearer by offering numerous discoveries as to their combinations, wear-ability and connection to the garment. She aims to initiate an intimate relationship between the wearer and the object.

Avoiding traditional jewellery fastenings, the wear-ability of Walker-Holt's works is not immediately obvious. Elements within the work suggest a function and fit that the viewer may not see or understand unless shown, so that what each viewer brings to the objects is individual and due to their own learnt subconscious. A bricoleur, she utilises materials that are at hand; the non-precious materials and their construction test the perceptions and limits of jewellery, suggesting that it is not the materials that make jewellery into jewellery, but how we perceive the object.

They have been meeting for over five years, still eat fishpies, and this exhibition is their second.

Jess Jacobs is a graduate of the learning connexion, and full-time painter based in Gisborne, NZ. Finalist in COCA Awards and Adam portraiture awards, and completed several corporate commissions here and overseas, and several solo exhibitions.

This series of 13 large paintings is based on the Life of Baha'u'llah (Mirza Husayn-Ali), persian Prophet and nobelman and founder of the Baha'i Faith, born in Tehran 1817 into an Islamic background. These paintings portray His life story in a unique way through His writings and symbolically signify different events in His life from his childhood in the court in Tehran to his incarceration in the prison city of Akka in what is now Israel.
