Torri Stewart has a combination of prints and sculptural pieces. Her sculptural works are inspired by the materials she forages, including a cylindrical piece made of woven seaweed covered in palm inflorescence. <\/p>\n
Another is made on a structure of driftwood she filled with woven seaweed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt changed dramatically as it dried and gave off a wonderful salty smell,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Former journalist Ruth E. Helming discovered printmaking in 2021. Having sailed around the world, she has a deep love for the ocean. She has a variety of prints in the exhibition, including three small octopus prints taken from an etching and a larger multi-block woodcut print of Cape Hallett, Antarctica.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got the name for the exhibition from a quote by [American psychologist and philosopher] William James,\u201d Helming said. \u201c\u2018We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all agreed it was the perfect name for the exhibition as we all have respect for and share a love of the ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marija Cooper is a Gisborne-based artist of Latvian origin who does charcoal drawings and printmaking. In Connected in the Deep, she presents a figurative intaglio piece and abstract monoprints inspired by nature.<\/p>\n
Gisborne landscape painter Veronika Lambert has several oil paintings in the exhibition, including two small circular pieces painted on wooden board. Her works evoke a sense of peace, serenity and solitude \u2013 one capturing the moody horizon at Wainui Beach, another the crumbling cliff faces of Makorori.<\/p>\n
Lanie Wilton uses vibrant layers of colour and expressive detail to capture moments of stillness, wonder and connection with paintings of wildflowers and landscapes.<\/p>\n
A public opening at 5.30pm on Saturday will give people the chance to peruse the work and enjoy a glass of Matawhero wine. <\/p>\n
