PREFACE CHAIR We are delighted to welcome you to the 12th biennial NZ Sculpture OnShore, the country’s largest and longest-standing outdoor sculpture exhibition, showcasing contemporary New Zealand sculpture by established and emerging artists.

We are proud that our event has a 24 year history of providing a sustainable source of income for NZ Women’s Refuge.

All proceeds from ticket and artwork sales during this event will go to NZ Women’s Refuge, to support the essential work they do with women and children living in fear of domestic violence and seeking to make fresh starts in their lives.

Co-Curators Ross Liew and Anna Hanson return in 2018 to curate their second NZ Sculpture OnShore exhibition which is sure to delight and engage both our loyal supporters and new visitors. Our special thanks go to all the talented artists who contribute so enthusiastically to this inspirational and thought provoking outdoor exhibition, as well as providing the impressive collection of smaller works for sale in the indoor gallery.

The large scale and diversity of the exhibition attracts a wide audience from all over New Zealand, from art collectors to young families, all keen to experience art in this beautiful setting.

There is something for everyone during the exhibition, which this year runs for an extended 14-day period.

The unique Children’s Sculpture Exhibition once again showcases works by Auckland schools in the historic underground fort and the Schools Programme will welcome participating primary and intermediate schools from all over Auckland.

We are most grateful to our philanthropic Patrons and our Corporate Sponsors, Fisher Funds Management, Hesketh Henry and Harcourts Cooper and Co. We could not stage an event of this size without their ongoing support and we greatly appreciate their active involvement and long term commitment to our event.

We also wish to acknowledge the tremendous work of “The Friends of Women’s Refuges Trust” and their team of over 400 volunteers who give their time so freely and make such a positive contribution to the success of this event.

We are confident that you will enjoy a very memorable art experience in this beautiful setting.

On behalf of the Board, thank you for supporting our event and this very worthy cause.

CURATORS’ WELCOME Kia ora koutou katoa.

We are very happy to be here, both figuratively and literally. We are happy to be on-site at the pointy end of a process that began over a year ago. We are happy to present an extensive programme of sculpture from a wide range of New Zealand artists. We are happy to have the opportunity to again be involved in an exhibition with such a rich history.

And we are happy to play some part in raising funds for the work of New Zealand Women’s Refuge.

We are happy indeed. And if being totally honest we are happy, but we are also tired. As what becomes clear, through the process of developing the programme for the 2018 version of New Zealand Sculpture OnShore, is just how much goes into the thing.

Sitting in the position we do, we are able to see the efforts of those whose contribution enables the exhibition to take place at all. There are many people chipping away in an array of roles.

When you take the time to pause for a minute and contemplate the sum and extent of these efforts it is actually quite overwhelming.

Producing something at the scale of NZSoS requires many hands, many heads and many hearts. We must pay tribute to all those who have contributed in some way, big or small, to making the exhibition possible and it’s only right that we begin with the artists.

The work taking place in the studios, up and down the country, employing a wide range of techniques, approaches and materials.

6 | NZ Sculpture OnShore Exhibition 2018

The knowledge and expertise held by these practitioners, honed over years and brought to bear in the works here on display at Fort Takapuna / O Peretu. The scrapes and scratches, burns and bruises.

The sacrifices and resolute determination required to realise the artwork.

Let us acknowledge this.

Let us be grateful for the compulsion that drives these artists, and for the artists’ courage in acknowledging and responding to it.

Let us give thanks for the sense of care, both for the natural world and for human kind, that is expressed in the ideas contained within these works.

Let us honour these artists in their dedication to the path less travelled and the inherent challenges that come with it.

Ngā mihi maioha. Thank you for efforts.

Our artists are not alone in their toil and we acknowledge everyone involved in the presentation of the 2018 exhibition and those that went before it. To those who support these efforts through simply attending the exhibition, or perhaps even purchasing a work, we thank you also. We are part of a collective legacy of creativity and caring. And in that, there is enough reason for us all to be happy.

Mā te wā.

NZ WOMEN’S REFUGE New Zealand Sculpture OnShore was established in 1995 by the Friends of Women’s Refuge Trust - a group of women fundraising for their local refuge who utilised their artistic knowledge and commitment to women and children to create a significant national sculpture event. Over the past twenty years, the event has gone from strength to strength and raised over $1.65 million for Women’s Refuge becoming the single largest source of private funding for Women’s Refuge NZ. These funds support the crucial work that Women’s Refuge undertakes as we work towards our goal of all women and children in New Zealand living lives free from domestic and family violence. Something every woman and child deserve and are entitled to have.

Women’s Refuge is New Zealand’s largest nation-wide organisation that supports and helps women and children experiencing domestic violence. Since 1973, Women’s Refuge has pioneered work that improves the lives of women and children. Today, we provide a wide range of services and programmes delivered by both paid staff and a large network of trained volunteers.

Refuge takes a strong advocacy role by working to positively change policy and attitudes about domestic violence.

We do this by working closely with the government and running public campaigns – all to help keep women and their children safe.

Women’s Refuge relies heavily on donations and the goodwill of New Zealanders, as we are only partially funded by the government for the round-the-clock critical services we provide. Every single visitor to NZ Sculpture OnShore helps us to continue to provide our essential services to women and children. To date, through the funds raised by NZ Sculpture OnShore, we have been able to purchase essential items for safe houses like white ware, pyjamas, lunch boxes and sheet sets. Additionally the money raised has allowed us to develop a child advocacy kit called Mokupuna; produce Fresh Start, a practical guide and educational tool for survivors of family and intimate partner violence; established a counselling fund to allow clients to heal emotionally as well as physically from the traumas of domestic violence and much more.

As well as practical support to individuals and their families, we also run training programmes for communities and organisations to help educate people about the impact of domestic and family violence.

Women’s Refuge is exceptionally grateful to the Friends of Women’s Refuges Trust for providing us with this consistent and vital support. Because of their passion and hard work we are able to help many more women and children in many different ways. Not only are the funds raised by NZ Sculpture OnShore incredibly important in funding our work, the occasion provides an opportunity to raise awareness of our organisation and how we can help those who are experiencing domestic violence.

Getting this message out on this scale is invaluable.

As New Zealand’s most significant domestic violence organisation, Women’s

Dr Ang Jury, Women’s Refuge Chief Executive

In 2017, 40,000 women and children required our assistance. We provided 72,218 nights of safe and secure accommodation across the year and answered over 140 crisis line calls every day.

FRIENDS OF WOMEN’S REFUGES TRUST My fellow Trustees and I thank you for your attendance at our 12th biennial NZ Sculpture OnShore exhibition. We very much hope you enjoy your time with us.

Your contribution enables us to continue our mission of using the beauty and creativity of art to alleviate the negativity of domestic violence.

Friends of Women’s Refuges Trust (FOWR) became a registered charitable trust in 2007, having begun life in 1995 as an informal group of North Shore women concerned about the scourge of domestic violence in our community.

10 | NZ Sculpture OnShore Exhibition 2018

FOWR’s objective as stated in its Trust Deed include general charitable purposes “which involve the care, support and protection of women and children”.

Our way of realising that is to hold these exhibitions which satisfy the Deed’s specific objective: “to raise funds to assist financially women’s refuges to achieve their exclusively charitable objects and purposes.

Through NZ Sculpture OnShore, which FOWR owns and operates, our organisation has donated over $1.65 million to women’s refuges. Today it is one of the largest non-governmental funding sources for NZ Women’s Refuge.

FOWR’s donations support the vital work of Women’s Refuge by funding specific projects, activities and resources such as “Fresh Start” information packs; and “Mokopuna” child advocacy kits. An invaluable resource helping victims of domestic violence to make progress in their lives is, “The Quiet Network of Support” Friends of Women’s Refuges Counselling Fund, which was established following our 2014 exhibition. This has been added to from our 2016 funds and will receive another significant contribution following this year’s exhibition. The Fund enables ongoing counselling to be provided for women who have accessed Women’s Refuges’ services.

Donations have also been used to renew necessities such as whiteware, furniture, bedding and linen, which have been very gratefully received at the 45 safe houses run by members of the National Collective of Independent Women’s Refuges.

Children’s backpacks containing basic clothing and supplies children need whilst going to school from a refuge and winter nightwear packages are personal items our funds have provided for women and children, the vast majority of whom arrive at safe houses with just the clothes they are wearing.

The continuing success of our event relies on a large group of passionate and dedicated people who give their time and expertise voluntarily. Working alongside the Trustees of FOWR and a small team of paid professionals, hundreds of event volunteers help the exhibition to run smoothly. To those volunteers, I would like to express the Trust’s extreme gratitude to each one of you for the vital part you play in our on-going success.

Rhonwen Dewar

The money raised from this year’s NZ Sculpture OnShore event will be donated to NZ Women’s Refuge for the following initiatives: • Friends of Women’s Refuge Counselling Fund • Linen packs for each refuge.

• Funding for each refuge to improve their safe house environment, including: - General refurbishment or room communal areas - Purchase of furniture/whiteware - Improvements to kitchens/bathrooms.

- New children’s playground equipment A big thank you to everyone involved for helping make this possible. By visiting the event, purchasing art, volunteering and spreading the word, you have helped women and children in NZ when they needed it the most.

SOFIA ATHINEOU Zoe

Materials: Cast glass Dimensions: 2800 x 1000 mm Price: $53,000 What inspires your art practice?

GREG BARRON Totem Composites

Materials: Terracotta clay Dimensions: 3800 x 900 mm Price: $7,500 What inspires your art practice?

I am interested in aspects of the real, the handmade and a sense of place and relationship to the natural environment.

With the ideal of sustainability and using materials close at hand, I dig and process clay from nearby pits, using fallen timber as fuel to fire a high temperature smokeless kiln. I have always had an afinity for the art, symbology and patterns of indigenous and ancient cultures.

What materials do you work in?

I work with a variety of naturally occurring local clays prepared in my workshop and fired to either stoneware or terracotta temperatures. This usually involves the use of glazes developed over many years.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 This work consists of three totem like columns rising as separate stacked pieces to varying heights of about three metres. They are made from fired terracotta clay with coloured patterns added by the use of ceramic engobes. My fascination with the art of indigenous and ancient cultures are present here and the idea of overlap and use of same and common symbols by cultures unrelated through time and location.

JAVA BENTLEY Winged Monkeys

Materials: Plastic, metallic ties, cement Dimensions: Variable Price: $21 each What inspires your art practice?

My art practice has revolved around sculptural installation. I am interested in objects that push the boundaries and that can be activated in multiple spheres of interpretation. Having had experience with the themes of the hand-made, craft and materialism, I am particularly interested in soft sculpture and collective group practices. What inspires my practice is the environment and people who surround me and as an artist I am constantly hoarding ideas from the public domain. I believe that we are a product of society and

that it is important for artists to give back through knowledge, experiences and opportunities.

What materials do you work in?

Everyday materials and found objects.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Construction netting jewelled with metallic ties, this collective show of objects coexist as patterned problems which both enable and exploit narcissistic projections.

Though linear forms, tension is created by the bread bag ties inflating the skin of the objects and fragmenting their internal structure. Once filled with cement the objects become fixed and fragile; while appearing strong the scars of the grid are still visible. As objects of containment, Winged Monkeys become playful entities that hold memory.

Where are the public most likely to see your artworks outside of NZ Sculpture OnShore?

Previously exhibited as a collaborative show at The Grey Place gallery “Hanging our the washing�, these building-blocklike objects have layers of collective consciousness and as quotidian objects remind us of everyday experiences.

LUCY BUCKNALL Still Howling

Materials: Phosphor bronze, enamel Dimensions: Lifesized Price: $50,000 What inspires your art practice?

The world around me, the struggle of humanity in the face of adversity. I have family and friends dotted around the world, some living and working in politically volatile places so I generally have an eye on the bigger picture outside of NZ. I also have a fascination with the physicality of different species. I am a keen supporter of organisations that try to help prevent cruelty to animals and that combat the negative effects humankind has on our environment. I admire political activism and like to think that as an artist I do my bit to raise awareness of these pressing issues.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 With the new Republican government coming to power in the USA, hunting laws were changed legalising the killing of hibernating bears, wolves and wolf pups. Meanwhile the previous government re-introduced wolves to the Yellowstone National Park where they created a ‘trophic cascade’ - the wolves kept the deer under better control, therefore the vegetation began to regenerate where it naturally should. Other wildlife started to come back to the area and even the course of the river returned to its sustainable and healthy path. So the horror and the hope - the ‘howl’ signalling an alert.

OLIVER CAIN Oi You

Materials: Steel Dimensions: 2800 x 1500 mm Price: $7,500 What inspires your art practice?

The biggest influence in my practice is a love for nature mixed with personal exploration of experiences. I am inspired by the world around me, inspirations such as traveling, cultures, faith, sexuality and visual materials. Each work tells a story of learning about culture and a love of personal interpretation. I am driven to create work that is appreciated by those from all walks of life, united in a love of an idea.

What materials do you work in?

Oi You is made from Steel which has been cut using different methods from laser to hand finishing. I usually use a mixture of methods and materials to create my work.

Other works are created using materials such as wood, ceramic and painting.

I love to explore and test what a material is capable of, to push an idea.

18 | NZ Sculpture OnShore Exhibition 2018

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 I am influenced greatly by the classical renaissance era and the magnificent work created by big names like Michelangelo, Raphael and Sandro Botticelli. Their work was created to depict the human body compared to divinity. I wanted to capture the ever changing effects that the world has upon the way that Man and God interact. This simple work highlights that intermit and distant relationship.

Where are the public most likely to see your artworks outside of NZ Sculpture OnShore?

I have work shown in galleries and shows across New Zealand. As an upcoming artist I am developing my work and making opportunities through this work.

TOUCH COMPASS On Display

by Touch Compass, devised by Heidi Latsky Dance, NY. Materials: Human sculpture court comprising 15-20 participants Dimensions: N/A Price: NFS What inspires your art practice?

Inclusion and diversity inspires our art practice. The challenge of incorporating different physicalities and thought processes into a performance or installation that, in turn, challenges perceptions around what performance is and who can do it. Touch Compass not only envisages a seamless society, we actively seek it out.Social change is what we’re about.

What materials do you work in?

We work with the human form, in all it’s diverse and beautiful forms. We are all unique and beautiful in different ways and all have our place in the world. We ask that you appreciate and value each other for what we all bring, to form the society we share today.

20 | NZ Sculpture OnShore Exhibition 2018

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 On Display is a deconstructed art exhibit/ fashion show and commentary on the body as spectacle and society’s obsession with body image. It turns a cast of diverse bodies into a sculpture court where the performers are the sculptures. On Display began as a simple human sculpture court and is now a movement, a growing portfolio of works that explore and demonstrate inclusion through art.

Where are the public most likely to see your artworks outside of NZ Sculpture OnShore?

You will see Touch Compass work on the street, in public places, in our cities and regional locations, in theatres and schools, community centres, cinemas, public gardens, art galleries and exhibition venues. www.touchcompass.org.nz www.inmotion.org.nz www.facebook.com/touchcompass Instagram: @touchcompass twitter.com/TouchCompass

DON COPE Love Birds

Materials: Copper, steel tube Dimensions: 1600 x 1000 mm Price: $38,000 What inspires your art practice?

I live and work in a beautiful bush setting in Birkenhead. Now retired I make welded sculptures which is my fulltime and absorbing occupation that satisfies my need to be creative. I was thrilled to have been in the last NZSoS exhibition in 2016 with a life size sculpture named Togetherness.

What materials do you work in?

I work with copper over steel tube.

Hand beaten and brazed to shape into copper forms.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 My figures are contemporary forms that exaggerate and distort the human form in an unrealistic way but still keep them in balance and movement. In tune with nature and today’s modern world.

PETER BRAMMER & JULIE CROMWELL Vitality Ascending

Materials: Corten steel, ceramics Dimensions: 2450 x 1160 x 1160 mm Price: $10,000 What inspires your art practice?

Julie: The systematic discipline and devotion of throwing ceramic forms communicates a productive work ethic and a commitment to process and tradition but also acknowledges a love of form, meaning, and material expression.

Peter: Working in both traditional and contemporary methods when working with steel to construct my pieces. I am interested in the sublime and the powerful nature that sculpture can bring, along with timeless qualities.

What materials do you work in?

Julie: I have been working clay for 27 years. Specifically, the potter’s wheel and also explore a variety of firing techniques.

Peter: I have an intimate knowledge of steel and metals with over 26 years

experience working as an Engineer and artistic craftsman. For the last 25 years the focus has been on being an artist and blacksmith.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Julie & Peter: Vitality Ascending brings together two materials, steel, and clay.

Both materials originate from the earth and are created through fire, therefore sharing fundamental elements. The steel aging process forges iron runs from the weather this is then replicated in the glaze of the vessel. This freestanding sculpture explores ideas of histories, architecture, and containment.

ROD CUNLIFFE Kotuku (White Heron)

Materials: Steel Dimensions: 3000 x 300 x 1100 mm Price: $5,000 What inspires your art practice?

Originally a teacher in the UK, an officer in the RAF and then Sports/Sponsorship Coordinator at Whangarei Boys’ High School, creating things with beautiful lines and proportions has always been an aspiration of mine. Having studied art and architecture in the UK, I enjoy probing the limitations of materials in order to accommodate my somewhat eclectic creative ideas. I happily work with wood, ceramics and steel, and thoroughly enjoy the biennial Collborationz (sic) event.

What materials do you work in?

I work primarily in steel, ceramics and wood.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 My representation of the KĹ?tuku (white Heron), stands 3 meters tall, constructed out of 4 x 10mm steel rods, formed and welded together with 5 rings and solid steel beak. It is finished in white metal paint and anchored in the ground so it shimmers in the wind or can be gently coaxed to move.

Fuelled by personal yet universal challenges of war, interwoven with the lingering resonance of historical trauma and our current unstable contemporary age combines to enhance my vision for everything I create.

What materials do you work in?

Using materials including paint, resin, glass, concrete, ceramic and wool as a language to narrate effective and poignant artworks.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 “The awareness that we are all human beings together has become lost in war and through politics,� 1952 Nobel Peace Prize philosopher Albert Schweitzer.

24 | NZ Sculpture OnShore Exhibition 2018

Shadow cannot exist without light just as wars are fought to hold onto peace, it is a paradigm which humans cannot escape. This installation is a reflection/ contemplation on the human paradox.

We have an inability to cease the suffering and violence upon each other, while it is during wars that humans show equally overwhelming compassion, love and humanity towards each other.

Materials: Galvanised steel, composite stone Dimensions: 1200 x 4600 x 1500 mm Price: $24,000

Life

Materials: Aluminium, galvanised steel Dimensions: 3200 x 6000 x 600 mm Price: $24,000 What inspires your art practice?

I am passionate about discovering and expressing the thoughts, dreams and hopes of the human heart. I express my own story through creating art objects. I am drawn to the movement, shape and warm rich colours naturally inherent in wood and stone, and to the powerful strength of steel and aluminium. Subtle hints of the human figure, seen in manmade objects and within Nature, are recurring themes in my work. Everyday items take on a touch of humanity and become pieces of art. Simple yet elegant forms, telling a story through subtle movement, jump from the pages of my personal journal onto my work bench.

GINA FERGUSON Sway

Materials: Wool, Pohutakawa Dimensions: Variable Price: $3,850 each What inspires your art practice?

I am senior lecturer in contemporary art and curator of Gallery One in the department of Design and Contemporary Art: Creative Industries at Unitec. The relationship between practice and teaching and enabling an experience through art is important to me. My work is often self-reflexive and discusses ideas centred around site, identity, time and experience. Drawing upon memory and personal narratives that are situated in a domestic and predominantly female rural paradigm inform both the concepts, and making of my work. My practice is predominantly installation, I am inspired by materials that are temporal and abject and these are considered in response to site, context and the haptic.

What materials do you work in?

I work with a range of tactile materials that may evoke narratives through memory or experience with the viewer.

I predominantly work with wool, wood, lead, hair (horse and human) ceramics, fibre and rubber.

What inspires your art practice?

Connection to the land, majesty of nature and a fascination with themes universal to ‘first nation’ cultures; these are the greatest influences on my work. I have spent extended periods living in my Nanna’s (Taranaki- Ngati Ruanui) part of the country, with the majestic Maunga Taranaki ever-present, and in Ireland where I discovered ancient inspirational art themes.

WANDA GILLESPIE The Master and the Teacher Materials: Ash and tĹ?tara wood Dimensions: Variable Price: $9,000

What inspires your art practice?

My art practice explores fictions and ideas around history, culture, ritual and ceremony. My sculptures are often presented as historical artefacts. An interest in our position as cultural makers of the Asia Pacific region inspires my choice of objects and use of native found material such as Kauri and Banksia nut, Sheoak and Punga in my sculptures. I often return to the theme of re-assigning functions and meaning to ordinary objects. Through my work I ponder how often museums may mislabel ancient artefacts with the incorrect purpose and I contemplate how we ascribe value to objects. I am particularly fascinated by the unseen and spirit worlds, and the magical quality that religious or ceremonial objects hold.

What materials do you work in?

Wood carving, ceramic, photography, film.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Two figures stand facing each other, eyes closed, meditative. It’s as though a telepathic conversation may be occurring between the two, a lesson of sorts. The wooden figures are bulbous, like giant bells, while the heads are finely detailed and realistic. I see it as a conversation between two artists; The male figure is carved in Ash, and modelled after an artist friend of mine, while the little girl is carved in Totara and modelled after my artistic daughter.

I enjoy the ambiguity around who the Master and who the Teacher may be, reflecting on how much we learn from our children. Windchimes surround the sculptures lending a beautiful aural quality to the work.

WOLF HABICHHORST Dancing with Wind

Materials: Copper pipes, silver spoons Dimensions: 3000 x 1200 x 250 mm Price: $5,700 What inspires your art practice?

Growing up in a throw-away society, taught me reusing and recycling. I learned to see different ideas and aspects in the discarded objects and started “to make things”. I like to create trees and branches out of metal, which includes recycled materials; I’m reusing things to make other things!

Creating art pieces from discarded material keeps the dumping stations and landfills less crowded.

What materials do you work in?

I work in Copper and other recycled metals; also in wood and paint.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Dancing with Wind reflects on couples dancing in harmony. The wind dictates the rhythm of smooth and equal movements in the sculpture.

The distance to each other gives enough room to dance solo, depending on the wind. No part of the sculpture is dominant, the wind only dictates priority.

LARISSE HALL An Introduction...

Materials: Powder coated aluminium, LED lighting, marine grade weather proof fabric Dimensions: 1900 x 3500 mm (approx) Price: $28,000 What inspires your art practice?

Always seeking unity and harmony, my work celebrates our gregarious nature as a society. It embodies our cultural rhythyms in a contemplation of everyday life.

Captivated by the ethereal quality of light and the mood enhancing effects this has on our disposition, I infuse physical light within my sculpted works to evoke a sense of ‘life’ and connection. This fusion of form with the science and colour of physical light, produces works of art that transform with time. By day, my sculpted forms interact through shape and shadow play. As night draws in, the ethereal quality of light, breathes energy and colour into my work, embuing it with life.

What materials do you work in?

Powder Coated Aluminum, 12Volt IP68 LED Lighting and marine grade, weather proof ‘fabric’. Chosen for their longevity and low maintenance in NZ’s harsh weather conditions.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Embodying our cultural rythyms in a contemplation of everyday life, An Introduction... pays homage to that initial encounter with another. More gregarious in a group dynamic, my anthropomorphic forms, stand life size as if socialising. By day – the forms and their shadows, play between each other as if conversing. Then as night draws in, the ethereal quality of inner light comes alive. Breathing a little mischief into the party.

Materials: Marine grade stainless steel Dimensions: 3000 x 1200 x 1200 mm Price: $69,500 What inspires your art practice?

My practice is inspired by both form and fluidity, my works capture a point of motion and a point of movement in time. Often my intimate understanding and sensitivity to materials influence the concepts that drive my work What materials do you work in?

I have worked with a wide variety of materials and have an extensive knowledge of stainless steel,corten steel,bronze and carbon fibre to name a few. The materials that I sculpt with often inform the works – with my understanding of each material’s possibilities and limitations informing the choices I make.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Reverb majestically stretches up to the sky, forcing the viewer to take pause and look skyward. Reverb is constructed from marine grade stainless steel and finished to perfection with its lustre reflecting all that surrounds it. As with a straight line interrupted – Reverb offers a moment of action within its vertical line – a reverberation of form.

What materials do you work in?

Steel and stainless steel are my mediums of choice.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 - Kowhai is an homage, one of New Zealands iconic images, it is a theme I have paid attention to over the years. I have tackled this work in marine grade stainless steel, a formidable medium.

For me there is a particular challenge in creating a sculpture of this nature, striving to capture the very essence of such a beautiful subject.

- Chef’s delight is a whimsical kinetic stainless steel sculpture, patinered to give a depth of colour including golds, reds and browns.

The three rotating teardrop shapes have stainless steel spoons carefully attached which catch the wind allowing them to move freely.

-I love to up cycle. Having spent a former life bolting old bed frames together these nuts and bolts that now make up “Bolted this Way” have a new life out in the weather. The windswept theme is a recurring image that has managed to take root in my mind, it is something I have come back to over the years in many different forms.

My work engages both my cultural and philosophical values, allowing audiences access to stories and philosophies that help inspire authentic relationships to our environment, to one another and to our organisations. I am most interested in the ‘unseen’ values, experiences and philosophies that inform our relationships to the natural world. How can the values from the past inform our actions for the future? My work explores the connection between all things (Whakapapa). I am Tūhoe, Ngāti Porou, (NZ Maori), Chinese, English and Scottish. I like my art to add value to the world. A global citizen with a tribal view.

As a descendant of the first European settlers and also of Ngapuhi Whakapapa I express my biculturalism through my work. The contrasts and tensions created by weaving together disparate materials represents the complex interweaving of cultures.

Following in the footsteps of my Kuia Cecily Ruby McManus, I seek to preserve and perpetuate all things mātauranga Māori in an inclusive, lighthearted, abstract and ecological way.

What materials do you work in?

I work with recycled, natural and found materials including harakeke and korokoi.

Aluminum venetian blinds serve as an industrial placeholder for harakeke.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Māoritanga in the mid 20th century was heavily suppressed and I wish to celebrate its consequent revival and thriving. My use of aluminum venetian blinds from that era refers to the loss of community for Māori which occurred when Europeans arrived with their conventions of privacy.

I free the material from its conventional linear use and weave and rivet large and small scale, light weight, airy, curvilinear enigmatic pieces to express entanglement and movement.

When I was a young man I trained as a funeral director and monumental mason, this instilled a life-long interest in monuments that are created for events, people and memories. To make a monument suggests importance and is an appropriate way for me to make a sculptural comment on past or current issues.

People, nature and the environment have inspired me the most. My university studies included Botany (where I studied plants intimately) and Zoology to a lesser extent, both of which have influenced my work.

I work in bronze, resins, stone, stainless steel, mild steel and glass.

Long Nose South Pacific Dolphin

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 I have two outdoor artworks and each one has its own narrative. I feel like a story teller of olden days when people didn’t have an alphabet and passed information on by telling stories. I feel my art helps me to tell my story and that of the time I am living in. I made the White Faced Heron due to an encounter I had with this bird in the Waiheke Island bush.

The dolphin was created in response to seeing a stunning photo taken by a great photographer friend, I had no choice but to make a sculpture of this amazing mammal.

JULIETTE LAIRD Rain Dancers (x 7)

Materials: Wire Dimensions: 700-1200 x 600 x 1000 mm Price: $380 - $500 each What inspires your art practice?

My family moved around a lot until we came to Aotearoa when I was 11. That early experience of dislocation has influenced the focus of my work. I have often been inspired by the nature of a location, or the stories of the people who have connections to it. Through the forms

and materials of my sculptures I try to express the importance of our connection to place. I also love to respond to materials, and use their visual and tactile possibilities for communicating ideas and feelings. I am particularly interested in social and political narratives as reflected in objects and where they are placed.

What materials do you work in?

This work for NZ Sculpture onShore uses wire, a material I love for drawing in space but which also suggests our control and use of the land. I choose materials which I can work with by hand, and often adapt domestic materials and techniques to suit my narrative.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 My dancing, rainbow-coloured mangroves are out of place for a reason. The natural environment, which they are such an important part of, has been badly affected by our activity around coastal areas and rivers. Silt and run-off are clogging up the zone where their role is to act as a lovely nursery for intertidal creatures. My hope is that their unnatural appearance can make us think about the value of mangroves.

But if you feel a bit of unease at these plants morphing into animals, that may be a good thing too.

MARGARET LEWIS Respite

Materials: Recycled materials diverted from landfill Dimensions: Variable Price: NFS What inspires your art practice?

Focussed on re-contextualising craft, I take stitchcraft from the traditional to the contemporary in its use of non-traditional materials (paintball masks to protect protestors, chicken wire to stitch a fence, sifters and sieves to stitch contemporary samplers and vintage racquets for volleying a conversation) to make social observation and commentary.

I see my role as an artist and producer as bridging aesthetics, exploring the application of innovative materials, championing excellence in making and to engage different communities in the creation of unique art works.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Built from materials diverted from landfill, Respite is a place of rest installed at NZ Sculpture OnShore. It invites the foot-sore and tired to sit and rest, contemplate the view and enjoy a moment’s rest in manmade shade.

It provides respite: · For visitors to Fort Takapuna - in a ‘glade’ made from materials diverted from landfill. · For our moana and whenua. The installation is a canopy of flowers made from milk bottles diverted from landfill. The seating is furniture made from shopping trollies, upholstered with vinyl from billboards.

And, of course, Women’s Refuge provides respite from family violence for women and their children. www.dmargaretlewis.com Instagram: @dmlewisnz 46 | NZ Sculpture OnShore Exhibition 2018

My work explores the relationship between ‘designed’ elements in the natural world and man’s adaptation of them – merging organic and constructed ideas, exposing an innate link between the two. There is a strong narrative quality to my sculpture, questioning aspects of the human condition; often employing humour or irony. The diversity and design within nature provides me with an infinite source of ideas. There are endless correlations of nature’s design principals within man made objects.

These abstractions offer inspiration for new object making. Combining natural forms with man made forms offers a new way to see objects and a new way to tell a story.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Humans create grand monuments to people and events that leave us with a rich history of sculpture but often the reality behind these monuments is power and control in some form over the multitudes. Using clay for the figurative component and concrete with embedded objects to create the plinths, Unmonumental is a collection of sculptures that are not grand, but memorials to everyday humanity, the ordinary, the survivor, the broken, the contemplative, the thoughtful, the unforgiving, the ruined, and the forgettable.

LIPIKA SEN AND PRABHJYOT MAJITHIA Slapsticks

Materials: Wood Dimensions: 3000 x 3000 mm (approx) Price: $14,700 What inspires your art practice?

We are contemporary international artists and conceptualists, living and creating in New Zealand and India. Poignant, whimsical, philosophical and intriguing, our experiential works are also often playful and humorous, engaging viewers at several levels, who become a part of the work itself.

Thanks to a background in advertising, we have been creating together for over 18 years in spontaneous synchrony, often despite errant time-zones or geography, much like our interactive sculpture, “Jugalbandi in the Park” that showed at NZ Sculpture on Shore 2016: https:// youtu.be/NyrWIld4pEQ What materials do you work in?

Concept driven, our multi-dimensional works are not limited by material... but use what brings them to life, Stainless steel, acrylic, wood, paper, metal, stone (for sculptures and installations). Also, acrylic on canvas, digital, film, sound, words, ink on paper.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 An interactive outdoor kinetic sculpture, Slapsticks is a playful, humorous work... making a wry comment on the human predicament that finds it easier to confront rather than confer. The work comes to life with hand operated sticks that activate a couple of figurines to merrily slap each other in play.

In a fragile, annoyed world... ever ready to wield guns and wage wars, Slapsticks provides comic relief. Inviting visitors to “slap away” their pent up angst and anger and create space for conversations, empathy, compassion and laughter.

RICHARD MATHIESON Strath

Materials: Sand cast bronze Dimensions: 800 x 550 x 6 mm Price: $8,800 What inspires your art practice?

My sculpture is inspired by my life and experience of working as an artist in NZ. Individual works are inspired by the place and purpose that they are to serve though the works are on a continuum. My abstract practice is an ongoing investigation and expansion of the processes that I employ.

What materials do you work in?

Primarily bronze. The pattern of Strath is made of 432 plywood segments cut at the appropriate angles to achieve the curves.

Evidence of the process is very much part of my practice.

This one-pour bronze casting retains the texture of the sand mould. The patina is liver of sulphur with a dash of cupric nitrate, bees wax sealed.

Strath is stamped RLM, edition # 3/5 and the dated 2018, the year the work was cast.

I work mainly with figurative bronze and steel. They are both very different mediums but have both kept my interest for the past 20 years. With my steel work I draw my inspiration from architecture and nature. I design to challenge myself, often sketching my ideas on paper first. I decide to make the ones which are most difficult to make. With my figurative work I take my inspiration from human nature in a mix of people and traits that both inspire me and frustrate me.

this work came from noticing the shift from investigative journalism to “opinions�.

For those eight months my studio looked like a bomb had gone off, steel and rubbish scattered everywhere. Somehow at the end it all came together, inspiring this work, taking chaotic shapes and components and organizing them into shape to complete the sculpture. With Opinion Piece I was thinking about how everyone has an opinion. Some of us keep them to ourselves and some of us are paid to tell them to everyone.

The trophy is hoisted up by a leading bronze anchor. The anchors are more hopping and skipping rather than bedding into the ground. It’s a team effort.

My heartfelt philosophy from observing human and social behaviours, conditioning and structures within our cultures. The stone I use enhances the motivation and inspiration, the figure of grain, colour, history, size... all these features play a significant role.

What materials do you work in?

Very hard and durable Stone from the deep South, predominately found deposited in the foothills from within the Southern Alps via ancient glacial paths (Glacial erratic). Bronze pieces offer an intricate, delicate aspect to the heavy bulky form of stone, I like the mix and it enables me to extend beyond the boundaries of stone.

Our current body of work traverses painting on a two dimensional surface and large scale sculptures. The language of abstraction in architecture and art informs the conceptual development of our work.

Considering the universal, abstract language of nautical flags as visual notifiers, warning beacons, signifiers or informers formed the development of our

work for NZ Sculpture on Shore for 2018.

We work with a number of mediums.

Recent pieces were constructed of corten steel, acrylic on canvas, digital prints or large black stained pine structures.

SASHA REID Composition 5

Materials: Wood Dimensions: 4500 x 4500 x 4500 mm Price: $37,500 What inspires your art practice?

I love making sculpture from wood. The bigger the better. It’s heavy, hard to move, you get covered in dust, your body aches and if you make a mistake you have to live with it. Before any of that madness happens I have to get the ideas out of my head and onto paper or into a maquette.

It’s only then that I can really tell if I have something I might be happy with.

If the composition is good, if its complex enough to make it interesting and the scale is right, then other factors like truth to materials help decide what a final finish might be. If it’s right, it will push the sculpture out of the ordinary.

What materials do you work in?

Mostly wood at the moment.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 This work is part of an exploration of how you can get something that is a repeated shape to become more than the sum of its parts.The simple Y shape which is the main component of this sculpture, is quintessentially a gumtree but to make it more than that is the challenge.Colour, scale, form and composition are what I use to help me expand on what a standard shape might be formed into.

SONIA RICHTER For Those Who Have Come Before

Materials: Vintage clothing, found materials, acrylic, plaster Dimensions: 2800 x 1400 mm Price: $12,500 What inspires your art practice?

I have always had a huge interest in fashion, costume, painting and sculpture.

Over the past 11 years these have all morphed together into large scale 3D wall hung works with clothing as the foundation of each piece.

We all have pieces of clothing we treasure; items in our wardrobe that invoke particular memories, feelings or moments in time. I want to capture and tell their stories; give them a voice and celebrate them. Bring old clothing out of the attic and onto the walls!

What materials do you work in?

My work blurs the boundaries between fashion, painting and sculpture. Using a unique process involving acrylic and plaster, I repurpose vintage clothing into fine art, creating dramatic three dimensional wall hung pieces. Often I use found objects and organic materials such as antlers, skulls and butterflies.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 In my current body of work I am investigating what makes me, as a first generation New Zealander, ‘Of New Zealand’. I have been looking into stories of the first women who arrived here, the hardships they had to go through, and the women who have had a huge impact on our nation. The work I am exhibiting at NZ Sculpture OnShore is called For those who came before. It is a 3m high ceiling hung work made from lots of vintage petticoats and christening gowns.

I thought there was a lovely synergy between the strength of the women I am portraying in this work and with the amazing support the Women’s Refuge offer families in dire need.

We also draw inspiration from discarded materials and especially those used in construction and fabrication. We source a lot of this material from scrap yards, farms and building sites, and like to explore how we can successfully integrate these with the naturally occuring materials we harvest.

What materials do you work in?

Wood and iron feature prominently and consistently in our work.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Heaven’s Gate is a hand made gate crafted from iron and kanuka wood in a manner that combines man made and natural elements. The spinning globe represents the earth and the tip of the gate points towards heaven.

Where are the public most likely to see your artworks outside of NZ Sculpture OnShore?

In the Whangarei area where we have several gates and other farm based works located.

RAMON ROBERTSON Morph State

Materials: Plaster of paris, concrete,timber Dimensions: 1700 x 700 x 600 mm Price: $16,000 What inspires your art practice?

I enjoy the research part of my work almost as much as the making. I’m often inspired by reading about what drives

people to live together in large cities as well as the theories and philosophy behind this. I am also fascinated by fictional and non-fictional stories about people including how far they are willing to push things which inspires my work.

What materials do you work in?

Recently, I’ve been using Plaster of Paris, timber and concrete with a variety of renderings including paints, resins and oils. I also often use mixed media with my sculptures.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 The concept for Morph State sits somewhere on the divide between the aesthetics of the city and the necessary growth and expansion of its industries, suburbs and infrastructure.

This work celebrates the city as well as is a commentary on its restraints while fondly pointing to the beautiful nature of art, design and the manmade environment. All three of the afore mentioned features being creative symptoms of our existence and survival in the world.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 We can sometimes be like tightly coiled springs, caught up in trying to control how our world looks. When we dare to let go, even a little, we open ourselves to thinking and acting in new ways. We may be vulnerable but we are also able to shine and expand.

BERNIE HARFLEET & DONNA TURTLE SARTEN Why Don’t You Just Leave?

Materials: Wooden pallets Dimensions: 1200 x 30000 x 26500 mm Price: NFS What inspires your art practice?

Bernie Harfleet & Donna Turtle Sarten are known for their social-political art practice. Often working in collaboration, our work examines aspects of society that sit outside the comfort zone of many.

Recent work has focused on poverty and aspects of depression and anxiety. We often include community participation as part of our work, terming this ‘Community activated art action’.

Sarten and Harfleet were the winners of People’s Choice in 2016 at New Zealand Sculpture OnShore.

What materials do you work in?

Our material choices and approaches to work vary depending on subject matter and contextual thinking. This can mean starting from scratch to make objects, or manipulating found objects. We often use statistics to inform works and present numbers of objects on mass. Work is

70 | NZ Sculpture OnShore Exhibition 2018

often kinetic, with both movement and naturally generated sound.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 This time around our work speaks directly to the work and concerns of New Zealand Women’s Refuge. The work takes pre-made objects and manipulates them to create a whole environment that sees visitors become part of the work as they interact with it.

Where are the public most likely to see your artworks outside of NZ Sculpture OnShore?

Sarten and Harfleet’s works are seen in outdoor sculpture shows, regional galleries and museums and in private collections.

Where did you study?

Sarten has a MFA from Elam, and Harfleet is self taught

GITTA SCHRADE Perspective

Materials: Wood, copper, steel Dimensions: 2200 x 350 x 350 mm Price: $2,800 What inspires your art practice?

My work is inspired by Nature, everyday life and the surrounding environment and my response to it. What finally makes me create an artwork is my curiousness; can I create something with the same identity using different materials? I will only know, once I have tried it.

What materials do you work in?

I work mostly with copper, for its organic feel.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 Impressed by the majestic look of the MÄ ori feather cloak I decided to create Perspective a proud standing copper weave. Copper strips woven together, brushed with patina to create the aged copper look. Two finished weavings are then plied into shape by hand and one slipped into the other and joined.

Perspective is mounted on a wood plinth and a steel base plate.

KAREN SEWELL In Paradise

Materials: Recycled materials Dimensions: 3000 x 8000 x 8000 mm Price: Palms $3,500 each.

Piggies $420 each. $13,440 (together) What inspires your art practice?

People, nature and the impact of materialism and consumer culture. The central concern of my work is the impact of consumer culture on people and our planet. I like to find ways to unmask the destructive face of the empire (at least to attempt to point to it) and to support the blossoming of life through contemplation and play.

What materials do you work in?

Mixed media including soft materials, concrete, steel, wood, paint, plastic, paper, organic matter and recycled materials. I work in sculpture, installation, photography and painting.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 In Paradise seeks to illuminate and critique the system of consumerism pervasive in our contemporary society.

A system which entices with empty

72 | NZ Sculpture OnShore Exhibition 2018

promises, promises of the “good life� through acquiring more. Advertising and culture stimulate dramas of desire for the next new product or service.

Since reality can never match our fantasies, the seduction and cycle of consumption is repeated. The true cost of this system exploits, discriminates against and destroys people and the natural world. Animal characters, as stand-ins, are employed as a means to frame and express ideas about human identity. In Paradise offers an invitation to rest, play and contemplate, to resist being co-opted by the empire, and the courage to step out from within its grasp.

My inspiration comes from within. Being bought up in the Whakarewarewa thermal valley, Rotorua made me who I am as an artist today immersed in Maori art & culture. I grew up among the mud pools and geysers at Whakarewarewa, and had the best and most dangerous backyard to play in.

What materials do you work in?

Bronze, Marble, Wood, Polystyrene, Ice, Snow, Clay Plaster and stainless steel.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018

Made from Japanese cedar and London plane, the Calligraphy pen is a metaphor for the might of the sword. But as we know, more powerful is the signature of a pen. It has started and ended wars, alienated tens of millions from their lands, and also helped many throughout the world. It remains one of the main tools in this day and age which we could not live without.

What inspires your art practice?

My work has a strong botanical emphasis.

I work intuitively, looking for layers of meaning and symbols in nature that support the piece that I am creating.

I aim to combine an essence of spirit, intellect and emotions in my work. As well as being visually sumptuous, I hope to encourage the viewer to reflect on deeper interests in humanity, the cycles of life and our intricate relationship with nature.

What materials do you work in?

I work with glass, stainless steel, aluminium and acrylic. I also create large photographic works that are printed onto PVC vinyl using UV inks for outdoor installations. The starting point for these works are collected botanical material that is meticulously arranged and then photographed to produce hi resolution, large scale outdoor works.

Briefly describe your artwork for NZ Sculpture OnShore 2018 My work is a fallen Kauri tree. The remaining tree skeleton, ghosted white, has succumbed to Kauri dieback disease and lies before us on the forest floor.

A stone has been placed at the foot of the tree, this totem carries a blessing of love and wellbeing. The lizard acts as a guardian or caretaker of the stone, which protects and preserves the mana of the forest.This work mimics the famous chalk hill figures in Britain (geoglyphs). The work challenges the viewer to consider how they will feel When the last kauri falls.

SCHOOL PROGRAMMES One of the fundamental features of NZ Sculpture OnShore is our commitment to engaging young people with art. The Schools Programme has been designed to inspire young sculptors and artists through the world of 3 dimensional art.

The Children’s Sculpture Exhibition showcases sculptures created by students from schools across Auckland and we are pleased to present impressive displays from schools across the Auckland region.

The programme has been developed over the last four biennial events and offers an opportunity for Auckland wide primary, intermediate and high schools to experience the largest collection of NZ contemporary sculpture staged in the country. To that end we have developed a package of teaching resources to provide a memorable and meaningful out-of-classroom learning experience for students who come on site.

The exhibition gives children a unique opportunity to have their artworks displayed alongside professional sculptors at a nationally significant event. With over 600 students taking part, the exhibition is truly a celebration of the creative prowess of Tamaki Makaurau’s youngest artists.

The materials have a strong emphasis on encouraging participation and engagement with the outdoor works.

The Schools Programme team’s aim is for students to develop their own appreciation of the arts, culture and pursue and develop their own creative talents.

Angela Morton Secondary School Prize $3,000.00 Angela Morton Primary/Intermediate School Prize $1,000.00 The inaugural 2018 school prizes have been donated by John Morton in memory of his wife Angela Morton.

Angela was a keen supporter of the arts and the prizes are given to expand the winner’s art programs. NZ Sculpture Onshore wishes to thank John Morton for his contribution.

We also wish to acknowledge the funding support received from Foundation North for both the Education Programme and the Children’s Sculpture Exhibition.

NZ SCULPTURE ONSHORE NZ Sculpture OnShore has come to be recognised as a premier art event showcasing contemporary sculpture

by New Zealand artists – from senior and established practitioners to exciting new faces.

Set on a historic cliff-top reserve in Devonport with panoramic views of Rangitoto and the Hauraki Gulf, the event is New Zealand’s largest outdoor sculpture exhibition and offers a unique snapshot of contemporary three dimensional art practice.

Complementing the outdoor sculpture is an indoor gallery featuring smaller works suitable for domestic gardens and interiors. The event is also a major fundraiser for NZ Women’s Refuge. A portion of the sale of artwork exhibited, in addition to revenue from ticket and merchandise sales, has enabled donations of over $1.65m to be made to NZ Women’s Refuge since its inception in 1996.

NZ Sculpture OnShore Limited is wholly owned by Friends of Women’s Refuges Charitable Trust, which was established in 1995 to support the work of New Zealand Women’s Refuges.

The volunteer Board of NZ Sculpture OnShore is responsible for ensuring that the event continues to provide a sustainable source of fundraising income and that it delivers a quality event, of which all our stakeholders can be proud.
