Out of The Darkness | Sold Out

Exhibition, , , , , , , ,

As most of you already know Monday night was the opening night of, Wellington Sexual Abuse HELP Foundation’s exhibition, NO Apologies, at the Thistle Hall Community Gallery.

I got there a little after 6:30 pm and it was packed. Jan Logie MP was one of the speakers there and gave a moving speech. There was also two performers, Tarns Hood and Mary Rainsford, who shared poetry. I did pop outside as it was a bit triggering for me.

Many pieces including my own sold on the night, yay 🙂 There’s still a chance to grab yourself a bargain in time for Christmas. It’s certainly worth checking out.

TradeMe – NO Apologies Exhibition

As I’ve already mentioned, the fifth and final piece of the series, Out of The Darkness, sold that night. I really enjoyed making that piece and plan to make a similar piece as a larger size.

I’m still working on a piece which I had mentioned in my last post. It hasn’t been the largest piece I’ve worked on but collectively with the twelve layers, it has been the most labour intensive. I’m really looking forward till the frame arrives from Auckland. That’s when I will mount the layers together and then place it straight into the frame. By doing this I reduce any chance of dust getting onto the paper.

Colo is a business here in Wellington which collaborates with BizDojo. They are big supporters of the people here at BizDojo. Dan very kindly wrote an article about my story up to this point to get some more exposure and to let people know about an upcoming charity exhibition I’m taking part in.

Wellington Sexual Abuse HELP

Opening Night: NO Apologies – Wellington HELP Art Fundraiser

‘No Apologies’ is the first fundraiser for Wellington Sexual Abuse HELP in many years. Please support us and the artists who have listed their work by getting along on opening night! Contributing artists include Sian Torringon, Danielle Burns, Jack Trolove, and more. We will be open during business hours for each day of the exhibition, which runs from 27th November to the 3rd December. Exhibiting artists share a commitment to our kaupapa of envisioning and bringing into being a world free from sexual and gender violence. Our theme, ‘No Apologies’, refers to the heart-felt response each artist has made, through their work, to this kaupapa.

I really hope to see you there!

Opening Night — 27th November. Thistle Hall 293 Cuba Street, Wellington. 6:30pm.
