To welcome-in 2023, our new Summer Collection includes selected new works from selected current Fe29 artists. The feature work, Loose Ties from Marté Szirmay’s 2019 Loops and Knots series, is a precursor to Contained and Protected, the work awarded curator’s choice for the McConnell Family Supreme Award for Sculpture in the Gardens (Auckland) 2019/20. Accompanying Szirmay’s bronzes are ten fun watercolours created by Philippa Blair in Venice, California in 2002. This is the first time these works have been shown.
In the hallway are four encaustic works by Amy Melchior, including two pieces completed just this month. An older work, Lapis – Metamorphic Rock, is a special painting created using pure lapis lazuli pigments made in Italy especially for her. A solo show of new Melchior work is scheduled for later this year. A selection of bronzes by Samantha Lissette (including her new miniature Botanicals, Vegetables and Insects) round out the show.
Update – a late addition to the show is textile artist Sandra Heffernan with works from her Indigo Moon series.
