Karin Montgomery is a craft-based artist, working from a background in textiles, interior design and her innate passion for ecology.
Montgomery shows an attentiveness to her ecological surroundings, and prides herself as a gardener and an observer with always an interest in making.
As an observer, Montgomery has drawn close attention to the Camellia flower within her current exhibition at Object Space, The Camellia Society. The show presents ten beautifully detailed hand-crafted replica paper Camellias that line the gallery in an ode to a garden.
Paying close attention to a normally overlooked Camellia plant, Karin puts its beauty to the forefront, reminding us of the little nuggets of beauty sitting right in our backyard. Inviting viewers to engage with attentiveness and to become observers of the beauty within our own ecological surroundings.
Maya had a kōrero with Karin about the show and her overall practice.
Murmuration is a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Li Si Rong.
Within Murmuration Li Si Rong presents a body of work that hovers between the everyday and an imagined dream-like space, navigating humanity's relationship with the home, and the things inside them.
Her paintings Sing with sweeping colours and dance amongst familiar forms while pulling the viewer into a world of the paintings themselves; that of a feeling of home and into a space of community.
Mobile like structures hang alongside the paintings, playing a careful balancing act like that of the movements of starlings, Murmuration. Li Si Rong uses Murmuration as a metaphor for community, shifting the gallery space into a place of murmuration itself, bringing us together into a space of warmth when we need it most.
Maya had a chat with Li Si Rong about Murmuration, as well as her overall practice .
