Liam Gerrard is an artist from Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. He is interested in the relationship between darkness and beauty, and often explores this in his work.
The natural world – hydrangeas and moths in particular – has long been a point of artistic interest to Liam, whose latest exhibition, After the Garden, ‘ruminates on the inexorable passing of time, on societal concepts of beauty and desire, and on the endless variety and motion of the natural world’.
Beth had a kōrero with Liam about After the Garden, which is showing at Sanderson until August 4th.

Male infertility is a serious issue in Australia and Aotearoa and there is currently no medical solution besides ‘getting healthy’ to solve it. It is an issue that isn’t discussed enough throughout society and is responsible for 50% of infertility in couples. This week on Green Desk Mitch speaks to Ateronon founder Sam Hunter about the Tomato Pill. Sam has been on a mission to create the first ever naturally occurring male fertility pill which was based off the information and statistics about the benefits of the mediterrenean diet. He has since developed the tomato pill which has enhanced the bioavailability of the lycopene in tomatoes to increase grade A sperm in men by up to nearly 50%. To begin, Mitch asks Sam what gives the tomato the ability to help with male infertility.
This week in her chat with the Green Party co-leader James Shaw, Zoë Larsen Cumming asks about the Jobs for Nature program, new conservation land, and an update on the Green School controversy.
Today on the Wire, Zazi talks to the ACT party's Brooke van Velden about a Government funded rehabiliation programme and Brooke's thoughts on its association to the Mongrel Mob.
Brooke then goes on to talk about the Jobs for Nature programme, and the ACT party's current concerns with the amount of money it has spent.
Environmental groups and unions have said the government’s discussion document on New Zealand’s plan to become net zero by twenty fifty focuses too much on cutting transport emissions and instead letting agriculture and energy emissions off the hook.
The draft plan to make New Zealand net zero by 2050 includes measures to cut down car travelling and boost the number of EVs.
Forest and Bird said the government hasn’t acted like there is a climate emergency and the plan did not mention much on energy emissions or a nature-based approach. Justin spoke to their Strategic advisor Geoff Keey.
