Guest Artists: Landscapes of Memory & Imagination

Team Toni! I'm excited to be teaming up with Toni Mosley

as GUEST ARTISTS for the 

Rata Printmakers Annual exhibition

1 - 24 August.

OPENING EVENT: Sunday 1st August, 4-6pm. 

Lake House Arts Centre, Takapuna. ALL WELCOME!

 

ARTISTS' TALK 

Please join us for our artists' talk on Sunday 8th August, 2pm. 

"Meet two printmakers that not only share a name but a love of ink on paper. 

These artists share a love of telling a story within their prints and artists books. 

This is a chance to hear more about their own print experiences."

Come along to enjoy a gallery full of printy goodness 

by members of Rata Printmakers... and us!

Toni and I will each be exhibiting a piece of recent work alongside the Rata Printmakers. We'll be sharing some of the processes used to create our works plus offer an insight into our practices and experiences.

I will be exhibiting my large etching "Home as a Sanctuary". I'm excited for this to have the opportunity to be exhibited again since it has only been shown at the Hibiscus Awards in Orewa in 2020.

Studio Printmakers Members' Exhibition

Scorched Earth (Detail) by Toni Hartill

 It was a pleasure to be a part of the recent Studio Printmakers members exhibition 

"Four Seasons" in the main gallery at Lake House Arts in Takapuna.

This was a mini print exhibition with strict parameters resulting in a smart and cohesive display of members' works. It was well received by visitors too with almost half of the works selling.

Studio Printmakers Collective was formed by a group 

of practicing Auckland printmakers in 1990.

 

Initially the aim was to provide a studio where printmakers, 

many of whom did not have presses, 

could experiment with, develop and edition prints. 

 

Over the years, however, the studio has also developed 

as a communal place where printmakers gather 

to exchange ideas, hold workshops, organise exhibitions 

and meet visiting local and international printmakers and tutors.

I included 2 works in this exhibition. 

These works are part of a series focused on the 

fragile fragments of kahikatea forest left scattered 

on the Hauraki plains.
