A collection of photographs documenting the divisive protests in Wellington. Beginning with the early protests in Civic Square, all the way through to the smouldering parliament lawn and subsequent standoff with the riot police, see the growth of the movement, event by event, until its tense end.
Don’t let them in. Try let them in. Do let them in. Why did you let them in?
We listen to people who love us. We listen to people who we love. We listen to messages from community. These voices contribute to who we are and what we believe in.
But what if this isn’t neat? What if the messages are too big, too messy, too confusing?
How are we meant to make sense of it all?
The works in my exhibition 'This way, that way' have been created over the past 3-4 years. The starting point for the different series within the show explore a simple triangle pattern (Manulua) found in Tapa designs. Within this body of work, I have explored different compositional arrangements using limited forms, shapes and colours inspired by the triangle in a formalist geometric abstract style. The series includes elements of repetition & pattern, weaving, disruption, positive & negative, transparency and 2D & 3D space using the formal qualities of painting.
Exhibiting Artists; Jack Giles, Jaco Van Der Walt, Kseniia Loseva, Reshma, Kate Twomey, Lucas Niklaus, Yan Coval, Tatyana Kulida, Anton Makarov, Sam Wakelin and Tatiana Rojas-Pavón.
Crusty knickers, discarded teddies, used dildoes and false teeth.

A practitioner of Rongoā Toi, I trace whakapapa through the materials I work with, collapsing time and space everyday to remember who I am.
New Zealand architecture has been at the center of my creative practice for the past year. The kaupapa behind this exhibition is to highlight the small and beautiful features our buildings have to offer, some of which are situated a stone’s throw away from Thistle Hall Gallery.
With our busy and technology-driven lives, a commuter can walk down Cuba or Guznee Street every day for years and never take the time to stop and look up at our beautiful, heritage-rich buildings.
Humanity has a long history of creating extraordinary tales from ordinary things.
Featuring skeletal sculptures by autistic artist, Sonja Howard, Impossible Things is a celebration of the infinite possibilities of evolution, imagination, and the eternal beauty of the natural world.
The sculptures in this exhibition are created by combining the remains of different species, similar to the "mermaids" of humbugs past, and the dinosaurs-made-dragons that have lead to countless legends all over the world.
