Tina Frantzen - The Ley Lines of Home

“This year I will have lived 50 years in Devonport – two thirds of my life spent walking the ley lines of our beaches and maunga as I experienced the joy, the loves and the losses of an ordinary life. I have been at various times despairing, consoled, uplifted, calmed and refreshed as I intuitively follow the same path.

Yet that same path frequently and paradoxically offers completely different views depending on my state of mind. I have recorded these varying ephemeral moments on my camera and in the paintings and some poems that form in my mind as I walk and walk the ley lines of home.

This exhibition is a representation in photography, painting and poetry of those places that have been the background to my life here in Devonport.” - Tina Frantzen
