TOUCH...PAUSE...ENGAGE
TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre at the Pah Homestead
30 August 2011 - 23 October 2011, Boardroom & Master Bedroom
To celebrate the Rugby World Cup, the TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre is featuring rugby inspired works from the Wallace Arts Trust Collection including works by artists Philip Trusttum, Mark Braunias, Jacqueline Fahey, Kate Walker, Michael Shannon and Stuart Page.
Highlights include six works by Philip Trusttum: an early piece from 1997 using oil on hardboard, and five of his distinctive large cut-out canvas works created between 2010 - 2011 that can be re-assembled in varying ways to reflect the dynamic action of the players and the game.
Trusttum has always painted subjects from his immediate life. His father was an All Black trialist and played for King Country, while Philip played for North Canterbury in the 1960s. While he gave the game away, the creative possibilities within the constructs of rugby, as well as the culture of the game itself have made the subject as relevant now, as it was then to Trusttum and his concerns.

RICHARD PARKER - MASTER OF CRAFT
RICHARD PARKER - MASTER OF CRAFT
Whangarei Art Museum 13 September - 30 November 2011
Toured by WHM on behalf of OBJECTSPACE
With a career spanning 35 years and work represented in many major international and New Zealand collections, this is an exhibition of Richard Parker's signature ornamental vases.
The exhibition surveys the career and practice of this defining figure within New Zealand ceramics, with works loaned from leading public and private collections around the country. The curator, Richard Fahey (Objectspace) said Parker had his own picture of what a pot should look like", and that although Parker's practice is grounded within the traditions of studio ceramics, "as an artist, his innovative approach seeks to redefine for us new ways we may understand the decorative object."
At a pivotal moment in his career Richard Parker abandoned the known in terms of how to make a pot and what it should look like and developed his own unique ceramics vocabulary. This singular vision has sustained his career for over 30 years and produced works that are uniquely recognisable.
Parker is noted for a variety of distinctive decorative forms frequently embellished with dashes, dots and dribbles in luscious glazes of red and green, black and cream, and his signature green and gold
