Notes
Underworld
Tony de Lautour's large painting Underworld 2 has taken shape in an even larger format as part of the wall of shipping containers protecting road users from rockfalls on the way out to Sumner.
Notes
The City Rises
It is an odd experience living in a town where buildings are continuously being deconstructed, the construction cranes are there but they are really deconstruction cranes slowly but surely pulling buildings to bits.
Notes

Notes
The beach
It seems like an age ago when Russell Clark's Japanese Planes, Rekata Bay, Santa Isabel, 1945 was purchased for the permanent collection way back in July 2010, before this town was turned on its head. One bright note is that it did make it onto the Gallery walls for a short period before our forced closure.
