In Mark's absence....
I would like to invite you to a special event
in Wellington this Wednesday evening at 7pm.
Artist Gray Nicol, who's recent exhibition* at the Archive announced
his return to public exhibition after a hiatus of 30 years, will give
an illustrated presentation on the carving programme for
Tumutumuwhenua, the wharenui at Orakei Marae.
Nicol worked on the carving project from 1978 to 1986. Focusing on
what he learnt about both the artistic and the technical aspects of
carving and installing large scale sculptures, Nicol will illustrate
the progress from raw timber to finished carvings with a range of
slides.
The images on display are some of the few that survive as the Marae
was severely damaged by fire in 1990.
The talk will finished with a Q&A session and the event will last for
approximately 60 minutes.
