Jacqui Colley - ‘We Played Here Once’

6 June - 1 July

Jacqui Colley seems to enlarge the room with her work. The structures look volatile until you find their essential compositions.

What appears as dense, even complex entanglements, resolve into backgrounds and foregrounds, intentions that may escape at first but then resolve. They are always brave and speak to a richness of experience.

Colley is an award-winning New Zealand artist. She won the $20,000 Parkin Award in 2018, a 2019 Private Residency in Germany and was awarded the 2020 James Baird Residency in St Johns, Canada. After her sold out show of 2021, the 2023 exhibition at OREXART will be her second show with the gallery.
