Notes
Christmas Presents
'The art that matters to us—which moves the heart, or revives the soul, or delights the senses, or offers courage for living, however we choose to describe the experience—that work is received by us as a gift is received.'
Lewis Hyde, The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property,
Vintage Books, New York, 1979, p.xii
Notes
Ready, set...
We all have our favourites, but some words have that certain something that lifts them above the everyday. In the case of the Gallery, and maybe Christchurch in general, this one seems to carry a particularly welcome resonance.
Notes
Vanishing Act
Tricksters opens at the end of the week, and the install crew got into the spirit of the show with a little magic act of their own.

Notes
Drawn Stone
Although Christchurch's American 'sister' is Seattle, we perhaps share a little more in common with the cities further south, in the state of California.
Notes
Selby Abbey
Another Yorkshire landmark is the magnificent abbey at Selby, and the comparison between our print and a modern photo is revealing.
