This year I have teamed up with good friend and artist Celia Walker to bring to life her idea of a large scale print installation focused on the plight of our native forest remnants. Together with Celia and 5 other Auckland-based print artists, and including works by a selection of students from Pukekohe High School, we are working collaboratively towards installing a "forest remnant" upon the walls of the gallery at Depot Artspace in Devonport.This is new territory for us as we "brave up" to work bigger and bolder and collaboratively in a multi-faceted show.
Wish us luck, follow our progress
and come support us at the opening and other arranged events!
I will endeavour to blog about our progress as we build towards
the opening event on July 14th.

This is the outline of our event as listed on facebook:
The project incorporates a large-scale print installation of native species and invasive weeds, as well as 200 native plants that will be given away to the local community during the course of the exhibition.
An exhibition around the theme of pocket forests will accompany the installation. Participating artists include Celia Walker, Toni Hartill, Elle Anderson, Kheang Ov, Nicola Ov, Ina Arraoui and Esther Hansen, and selected students from Pukekohe High School.
Many thanks to Creative Communities" for funding support!"
