Sunday, February 28, 2010. Niki Hastings-McFall - Have a Little Faith @ Milford Galleries Dunedin, 2009. Wall works reflect and objects glow in Niki Hasting-McFall’s exhibition ‘Have a Little Faith’ at Milford Galleries Dunedin. Hasting-McFall explores and plays upon the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. Her two and the three dimensional artworks are intrinsically interrelated. Connections and relationships become apparent within the symbols of her work. 8216;Swansong’ explore...

Art Write: March 2009

http://vanessaevecookartwrite.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 1, 2009. A Transformation of Space. At times I find myself somewhat disconnected from my surroundings, and turn to walking and drawing to explore the physical city I live and operate within. I use aesthetic practices to explore the spaces in my everyday urban environment. In this case, capitalist industrialization has destroyed nature and is replacing it with a “second nature.” The balance between the organic and the human environment is disappearing across the globe because...The concrete ...

Art Write: Hamish Jones: Toys As Everyday Objects

http://vanessaevecookartwrite.blogspot.com/2010/09/hamish-jones-toys-as-everyday-objects.html

Thursday, September 30, 2010. Hamish Jones: Toys As Everyday Objects. Toys are revealed as everyday objects of an adult life; a modern life where objects are standardised and difference is limited, yet human intervention reveals that there are some aspects of the world that remain out of our control. Imagine for a moment about being a child again (can you remember? To enlarge an object is to make it appear more important than it is…. Pop artists, of course, have made extensive use of the exagge...Jones&#...

Wednesday, May 28, 2014. Wild Game: Hamish Jones @ Gallery 33. Hamish Jones’s hides boldly, playfully and powerfully pop from the gallery walls. A glimpse into a child’s mind, of exotic places and imagined adventures but also a symbol of mans’ dominance over his fellow animal. From an adult view the works talk of the desire to do the same - hunting, capturing and claiming rare and exotic animals. ‘ Panthera tigris’ and ‘Panthera tigris tigris’ display the skin of the white and...Childrens’ stories ...

Sunday, May 10, 2009. A Familiar Dream - Gary Waldrom 'New Works' 2009. I drive away from the coast and into the heart of the Hawkes Bay in search of an isolated driveway amongst barren, dry hills, off a tree lined country road. I am by myself, in a car unfamiliar to me, driving through places I have never been, imagining how it will be meeting Gary Waldrom at his studio in Waipawa. I continue to look at the girls for a while, what are they thinking? On close inspection brush-marks are apparent, forms of...
