You are warmly invited to the opening of the Pop-up exhibition ‘Treasure of Life’ by a local emerging artist Sue Quayle. On show 18-21 July in the Seminar Room.

Life is a treasure, a taonga.  In a world where hope is fragile, we need to be reminded that there is hope, there is good in the world.  Through the medium of water colour, Sue reminds us that there is a wonder still here that points to good.  We can experience joy and hope despite the suffering and darkness.  Sue’s work plays on the juxtaposition of light and dark, the bold use of colour, with whispers of subtlety reflecting the tensions of our environment and our experiences.  Her environment in Titirangi, “the fringe of Heaven”, speaks into her practice, with recurring themes of the spiritual.

Alongside watercolour, fabric has played an important role in her life and the immediacy of textiles has helped express the spirit of love and generosity.   Her techniques have developed from the traditional to the freestyle.  Come and share the stories woven and hear the call to treasure life.
