Lisa’s welcome sign, with “it’s beautiful here at the edge, 2018” [box-framed] sitting alongside.
Aroha sums up the beautiful feeling throughout Lisa’s lovely home.
I made the original “under the cover of stars and darkness” [scroll down a little to see the original, hanging above a bed] for an exhibition at Te Manawa in 2013 and the edition has sold out.
I am so in love with this photograph, which I made just before the Art House Wellington evening got underway, that I’ve decided to release it as a studioprint, and a limited edition exhibition print.
Because if you’re very very lucky, when you come undone under the cover of stars and darkness, aroha is the result.
I had this dining room table for my Barbie when I was a child! Loving it! “All the stars, 2018” and “it’s beautiful here at the edge, 2018” [custom-framed] in the background.
“Come home to my arc and my flood, 2017”, taped onto the window blind.
“Protection, for Teresa, 2018” , a commissioned portrait, in amongst the Lisa’s family photographs. I’ve got some spots left in my commissioning schedule for 2018, so hit me up if you’re interested in knowing more.
“There are so many ways, for Hannah” [workrprint from my upcoming exhibition] with “Sleep well I am still here, 2018.”
“There are so many ways, for Hannah” [workrprint from my upcoming exhibition] with “Sleep well I am still here, 2018.” Had to show you a close-up as I love the detail in both these artworks.
Workprint of the first iteration of “there are so many ways to fly” [from my upcoming exhibition of the same name] taped onto one of Lisa’s existing artworks. My gaffer-tape love comes from my father.
“I wanted to tell you love, 2017” above, and “The Lovely Boys, 1997” below. Both basking in gentle lamp light.
This photograph, “the lovely boys, 1997” means so much to me that I had to show you twice. Plus I may go back to Lisa’s and steal the drawers.
“Lay me down with a gentle hand, 2017”. I made this especially for L. It’s printed on banner/billboard fabric, has got rivets in it, is attached to the wall with stainless steel pins, and it kicks ass. There are four more prints left in this edition. Contact me if you want to know more.
I wrote a post about it because I love this photograph.
Workprint of a much larger artwork, “daydream 2016”.
It's fitting that I put “daydream” at the end of this series of photographs because this art house exhibition at Lisa’s was kinda like a lovely nightdream.
Me doing my best to answer the questions… as me and the people that were in the room very well know, I didn’t always succeed. To the great amusement of everyone in that lovely warm happy fire-lit place.
