Michelle Reid is a Tāmaki based painter, exploring the idea of atmospheres and gardening through a layered material language that incorporates oil paint, pencil, water colour and even the use of a water blaster. Allowing an index of material vocabulary and mark making to arise. Interweaving these explorative methods of mark making with botanical imagery to create a kind of synthesis of material language, that dances between representation and abstraction.
Her current exhibition at Artor Contemporary,A Biome of Hue, continues Reid's exploration of atmospheres. Shifting the gallery space into its own garden-like atmosphere that invites viewers to engage with the work in a slightly different way—installed through the lens of a garden, some paintings hung high, others low to the ground, and one even wrapping around the gallery wall. Inviting viewers to encounter the paintings through this alternative embodied lens.
Maya caught up with Michelle about the show, and overall practice.
Jamie R H is a Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington based artist and curator, primarily working within spaces of language to produce site specific artworks. That both draws from, and speaks to her familial histories within Te Matau-a-Māui Hawkes’ Bay.
Her current exhibition I Runga O Ngā Puke (travels over feeling) on at Window Gallery showcases a durational language-based artwork, presented through a wall mounted LED sign. Displaying a stunning presentation of language in an act of constant movement. An unfolding of text that does not seek closure, but instead seeks to withhold it. Dazzling viewers with small glimpses of language that flow into a fragmented river of stories. The LED sign embodies this role as an actor of sorts, in a state of a continuous performance of language, time, and movement.
