Get up and Go and See this... 17 September - 23 October Tuesday-Sunday 11am -5pm
Nelson claims to be arty farty. (I have my own views on this marketing myth), yet the 'Shed' is a stunner, housed in a Warehouse behind Guytons on Wakefield Quay, and organised by Rebecca Hamid of Nelson Sculpture Trust.
Im not sure if Im just in awe of the location, the warehouse is where customs store confiscated goods coming into the Nelson port. Its open space conjurs up images of drug hauls and the odd Rhino or illegal banana haul, not likely but I have a vivid imagination.
I'm so delighted to see this exhibition in Nelson, an amalgamation of 'seven artists who challenge the dimension of jewellery and sculpture'.
This for me is what its all about, turn up, take it all in, experience something unique, and have a wee blether about art.
My favourites were Areta Wilkinson and her Stuffed Titi ( using parcel tape see below).
and Niki Hasting McFall's Waterfall - Papase'ea.
