This Exhibition brings together a recent sculptural work ‘Eight Steps to perfection’ that first exhibited 2020 at Ramp gallery and more recently in the exhibition, ‘Never Be Seen’ at Aratoi Museum 2024. This two piece sculptural work is shown along a series of nine new works titled, ‘Tales from outside the Dairy’, these works are based on objects found on footpaths, carparks in and around connivence stores, two fours, Fish and Chip Shops and local Dairy’s. These discarded objects are photographed, digitally printed on fabric, hand stitched then crumpled and stitched into frames. Whereas recent projects have followed a psychogeographical model, exploring a particular physical environment, this project pulls objects from archives of objects (trash and litter) that I literally collect, archive and store in a methodological system based on those used by museums…

Conceived as a two-year project, ‘a gallery’ opened in February 2011 at 393 Princes Street, Dunedin and closed in September 2012. Strategically placed south of the center of town nestled between tattoo studios, sex shops and a needle exchange. What was integral in the selection of the gallery space was that it would be able to be viewed from the street through the street level floor to ceiling windows. This would allow the artists showing to be exposed not only to viewers visiting the gallery, but also those walking past, as a gallery was to represent artists that did not fit within the commercial gallery context or the so called experimental project space’s, this would be the best way to expose a particular group of artists selected by gallery curator/manager Jay Hutchinson, artists he respected and admired and felt were not being represented in the gallery scene at the time.
