Toss Woollaston Untitled [Quentin (Kin) Woollaston Shearing]
Toss Woollaston grew up in a farming family in the small Taranaki settlement of Toko and began his working life as a seasonal fruit and tobacco picker. In this ink drawing, he depicts his younger brother, Kin, shearing a sheep. His black singlet and dynamic form summon the rhythms of the shearing shed during what was then a boom time for wool production in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Max Gimblett Certainty
For the exhibition Yellow Moon: He Marama Kōwhai (28 October 2017 – 28 October 2018) this work was displayed with the following label:
Max Gimblett is a New Zealand artist living in New York who makes art for contemplation and healing. For him, the art-making process embraces awareness of the unknown and the idea of being part of something bigger. He says: “Human is a tiny part of things. The ocean, the unconscious – these are things that are not knowable. Sometimes you can participate in a work from and in that source.” Gimblett also values “the curiosity that’s endless in beginning a drawing or a painting”, and attempts “to find a voice that will deliver the maximum content in the cleanest, clearest aesthetics”.
