CORE: Australian Printmakers Invitational, N.Z.
It was an absolute pleasure to participate in CORE: Australian Printmakers Invitational exhibition at Waiheke Community Art Gallery (New Zealand) curated by Katherine Kennedy. The exhibition continues until August 17th. I made two new lithographs responding to the 'core' theme and was honoured to exhibit alongside artists Ben Rak, Kyoko Imazu, Linda Swinfield, Olivia Willson,Tanya Crothers, Jet James, Michael Kempson, Rew Hanks, Rafael Butron, Dale Harding, Vernan Ah Kee, Elisabeth Cummings, Chris O’Doherty aka Reg Mombassa, and Katherine Kennedy. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit New Zealand, explore the beautiful surrounding environment of Waiheke Island (40min ferry ride from Auckland) and attend a fabulous exhibition opening!

Many thanks to Flinders Lane Gallery for a great experience, to Canberra Arts Patrons Organisation for assisting with the creation of new work for this exhibition (through the 2014 McGrath Emerging Artist Award) and to Arjen Romeyn for his incredible assistance and support (especially with the Thunder-Rush Rapid concertina book construction). I really appreciated everyone taking the time to visit/enjoy the exhibition in person and/or online! I'm already busy with some new projects and plans that I look forward to sharing soon :)
