The install has begun for He Ngaki Māra by @keri_mei_z 💫
Rug up & come and celebrate the opening with us on Thursday evening at 5pm. We’ll have hot beverages to keep you warm.
He Ngaki Māra speaks to the tending of whenua, positioning mahi toi as a form of rongoā, whilst exploring how creative practice can support wellbeing in our everyday lives.
Grounded in the rhythms of the Maramataka and the cycles of whenua, the work reflects on balance — when to act, when to rest, when to cultivate, and when to gather.

𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴70 by Uk-based artist Simon Allison opens tomorrow at Project100! Please join us for the opening night.
About the artist :
Simon (b. 1955 Auckland, NZ) spent his early childhood growing up amidst what he describes as the ‘paradise of the Kaikoura coastline’ where his father worked as the editor of the Kaikoura Times. After the family moved to Nelson, Simon developed an early interest in casting techniques and experimenting with a collection of lead head nails ruthlessly scavenged from the city’s weathered roofs.
Simon attended the Canterbury School of Fine Arts, graduating in 1978, under the tutelage of Tom Taylor who ran the sculpture department with Martin Mendelsburg, a young American sculptor. The paintings of Don Peebles, who also taught at the school, remain an ongoing influence on Simon’s work. After graduating, Simon worked at the Court Theatre in Christchurch as a scenic artist and set designer before traveling to England in 1984. Here he established a bronze casting facility in London called Red Bronze Studio. A decade later he moved to Oxfordshire, reimagining the foundry into what it is today, Lockbund Foundry and Gallery.
Simon will be in the gallery until 25 April ✨
