Art @ the Library
Westland Arts Incorporated and Westland District Library are collaborating to make a free exhibition space available.
Art @ the Library is a small, nimble and flexible project that aims to provide exhibition space for artistic and innovative proposals.
Current Exhibit:
Hokitika Racecourse
An exhibition of fabric postcards based on the racecourse.
by Janet Gawn
Artist statement:
Over several months while walking around the racecourse I took photos with the thought that the buildings were inspiration for artwork.
These are postcards in fabric – and yes they can be posted just like a card postcard.
They are worked in a mixture of fabrics with machine stitched highlights.
I chose to do the whole series in sepia tones as I felt that this best reflexed the age of the buildings.
The cards are for sale - $25 each. And will be available at the end of the exhibition – 15th September.
Please ask at the library desk for my contact details to make a purchase.
