Taupō artist launches colourful autumn exhibition
Taupō artist Connie Takarangi is launching an exhibition full of colour and recycled objects, textiles, paper and more at Taupō Museum next weekend.
The exhibition, Colour My Autumn, has been a labour of love for Takarangi, who regards autumn as the most beautiful time of year. She was born and bred in Turangi before moving to Wellington and then London, before returning home. She said the beautiful colours of Turangi in autumn influenced her love of the season.
“For as long as I can remember I have had a fascination of autumn and its changing elements,” she said.
She said Colour My Autumn brought together elements that embraced her passion for reusing, recycling, repurposing and rethinking.
Colour My Autumn runs from April 6 to May 13 at Taupō Museum. Taupō District residents and children can visit free of charge.
Takarangi is also holding school holiday workshops during the upcoming school holidays with funding from Creative Taupō and the Creative Communities Scheme. See the Taupō Library and Museum school holiday programme for more information.
