Our first exhibition of spring opens on September 17 with Wellington artist, Kerrie Hughes.
“The first tapestry room I painted was our London bedroom. Living in the East End of London, I craved nature. When visiting manor houses in Britain I would sometimes come across tapestry rooms, and very occasionally “painted cloths” which imitated tapestry – a poor man’s version. I was particularly inspired by Eyam Hall in Derbyshire, where the main room was covered with patched-together tapestries. Every so often there would be an upside-down head or hand depicted – it was surreal and random. The rooms gave me conflicting feelings of excitement and serenity. They were thrilling spaces, refuges of idealised nature, private paradises”.
Opening: September 17, 6.00pm.
All welcome.
