Homebodies brings together works by Manawatū artists Jennifer Baker and Alice Fennessy contemplating the domestic worlds of home and garden. These artworks shine light on the beauty and banality of still moments of life.

I am a multidisciplinary artist, I make Art mostly based in themes of mental illness, motherhood, fantasy and life’s beautiful mundane moments. I use art as a form of self care and therapy.

This exhibition showcases a selection of photographic works by first- and second-year students from the Toioho ki Āpiti (TOKA), Bachelor of Māori Visual Arts (BMVA) program at Massey University.

Hi, my name is Jodi Calkin, I am a painter of mostly watercolours and am excited to have my first exhibition here in Palmerston North…
Oh how I love the beauty and wonder of nature, as an artist I have an unquenchable desire to express what I see. The colours, shapes and perfection of flowers is irresistible; the wonderful world of animals with their myriad types and personalities, and the constantly changing light of day upon the landscape are the subjects which most inspire me.

Initially, I began to put this body of work together in order to minimise emptiness. My wife Barbara with whom I had Painted, through seven exhibitions in different parts of the country, had lost her battle with cancer.
Some of this work is looking back at places that were dear to us.
As I worked many other things presented themselves sometimes surprisingly.
And further, I have discovered so much that is new to me that I have been led to look out far beyond the now, as I continue the journey we began over 30 years ago.
I have included some personal observations with the different pieces.

When Jade (Namu) my 22 year old son and I decided to exhibit together for the second it seemed opportune to show a series of unexhibited coat drawings on paper I did when I was a 22 years old along with Jade’s current work, as a fun leaping off point together. These coats are suspended empty vessels, remnants of my past.

As a 22 year old, I feel my life is only beginning. I have endless possibilities, and life fee ls huge and amazing and in technicolor. This is represented in my paintings being as colourful and as vibrant as I can make them. However, last year a close family friend of mine passed away, which has made me think about the concept of death a lot more in my work. I have come to the point now where I am enjoying combining themes of life and death, still in technicolor but often with skull imagery.

Dream Art is a mixture of works from Shaista Neek Qadam and Eim Suwansura, two 16 year old artists.

“The exhibition called Dream Art reflects the Surreal. We hope you enjoy it. Welcome to our imagination.”
