The Mary and Anne Show
Mem Bourke & Anne Hill
22 November -
4 December 2011 In the Cafe Gallery
Opening: Tuesday 22 Nov, 5-7pm.
When You were red and I was blue.
Art on the Body and Art from the Heart.
Anne Hill and
Mem Bourke grew up in Mangere East in the
1970's dreaming of being stars of their own
show. Anne's small mixed media
drawings on Bathroom Tiles are exhibited
alongside Mem Bourke's photographs of her
Body art.
Growing up
with big dreams and imaginations, and no
viable means of making them come true, they
relied on each other and their childhood
imaginations to keep the idea of 'being'
artists alive. This is a small hamage,
exposing some of that journey and dedicated
to those dreams...

Chlorophyll
29 August - 11
September 2011 In the Becroft Gallery
Opening Monday 29 August 5-8pm
Lake
House
Arts Centre
Gallery presents Chlorophyll, an
exhibition of new glass by a group of
Auckland artists, organised by Isla Osborne.
Showing from August 29 to 11 September
2011, this exhibition tells the first
moments of spring - the smell of newly mown
lawns and snowdrops. The time before cicadas
hum and hills turn to scorched earth. Spring
holds the promise of lazy days and gentle
nights surrounded by chlorophyll.
Treasures on show include Isaac Katsoff’s
jewel-like glassforms, Kari Lindsay-Beale’s
sculptural Orchids (shown above) and Peter
Viesnik’s lustrous dichroic glass.
Isla Osborne’s work presents a glimpse of an
extraordinary microscopic world, while
Frances Hanson shows eminently wearable
glass and silver jewellery. These miniature
works of art are interestingly juxtaposed
against husband John’s cast glass
sculptures.
Fiona Rennie-Schwieters’ organic sculpture
almost seems to grow
as you view it, while Karin Barr’s row of
stem-like columns fit wood and stone a
perfectly against smooth cast glass.
Perhaps the most intricate works in the
exhibition are Stephen Bradbourne’s
beautifully textured vessels (shown above).
In these pieces, he composes then fuses flat
sheets of pattern before rolling and blowing
the glass.

viewers a glimpse into the work of each
artist while also providing the artists with
a subject matter of a glimpse .
