Flowers and Fungus
LISA WEST
“Most of the things that I make are influenced by the flora and fauna around me and these pieces are a continuation of this. ‘Flowers & Fungus’ is loosely based on real flowers and actual plants but with a large element of artistic license thrown in. The use of unprocessed materials such as shell, stone and fine gold also influences what the finished piece might be. The distinctive curve of a shell may suggest one thing; the colour and patterns on a lump of stone might be reminiscent of something else.”

Birds – and Estuary Politics
BARBARA BLEWMAN
“Near where I live in Mapua, beneath a veneer of beauty, lies the most contaminated soil in the country. ‘Birds – and Estuary Politics’ fuses the beauty and wildlife of the region with the stark reality of the toxic dump and the decontamination process currently underway. There is a sad irony that a pesticide factory operated for fifty-six years on the South Islands largest estuary, home to some of the most unique birds in the world. It is the coming to terms with these aspects of my immediate environment that has motivated the creation of this work.”
