You are warmly invited to the opening of our next group show on Friday 12 January 2024 from 6pm - 7:30pm

‘This group of paintings revisits some of Ruth’s previous work based on the beach settlements of Auckland’s wild Waitakere coast. This time most buildings and signs of human habitation have been consciously edited out of the image. Recent extreme weather events add to the plentiful information around the consequences of future climate changes, revealing serious challenges to human existence in coastal environments. Today many houses exist at Piha, Karekare, Te Henga, and Muriwai, this may not always be so. The coast could return to its unsettled state. ’ - Ruth Cole

‘I experiment. I love it. And the new is fun. I have tried colour, mediums, textures, materials, but now find ink and paper, the most unremarkable materials put together in the simplest way, most magical.’ - Gretchen Menezes

Exhibition on show 12 January – 28 January. Monday to Sunday 10am to 4pm.
