Contemporary Auckland-based artist Wanda Gillespie showcases the exploration of her work in wood from her 2023 art residency on Waiheke Island.  

The title of this exhibition by Julia Holden and Tracey Sullivan references a poem of the same name, focusing on human inattention to what the world brings us, and what we have to lose through lack of care.

Alison Fausett’s paintings capture “uneasy partnerships” exploring tensions between light, object, and figure, creating ambiguous, psychological partnerships. A photographer first and foremost Fausett paints from the view of the camera lens capturing light passed over by normal human vision and slowing down the act of seeing.
