Notes
Banded bricks
I used to bike down Durham street past the old Canterbury Society of Arts Gallery every morning on my way to work ...
Notes
Dead Keas
It was tragic to see the image of five dead kea at Klondyke Corner at Arthur's Pass in yesterday's Press.
Notes
How to hang pictures
While working in the North Island recently I researched these two magnificent examples of innovative art hanging.
Notes
Happy Snapper
He's done a lot since then, but to me John Reynolds will always be the artist who walked from the Arts Centre into town to buy a roll of film,* but was so entranced by the beauty of fallen leaves in the Avon River that he used it all up on the way back.
Notes
International Beer Day!
I couldn't resist a selection of beer related art works from the Gallery's collection. My favourite is Hogarth's Bear drinking beer or is that beer drinking bear.
