Devonport: Architecture of Land & Sea Art Exhibition

The Team from Depot Artspace

For many of us, these last few months have had us hanging out in our neighbourhoods, often discovering details we had never noticed before...even after years of habitation.

In Devonport: Architecture of Land and Sea, artist Martin Law Painter of Paradise has taken attentiveness to a whole new level. His paintings are an exquisite, almost microscopically, observed tribute to Devonport, its history, environment and architecture. Each element is of singular note, but forms a whole, a narrative of a community, its development through time in a landscape – whenua overlooked by its two Maunga Takarunga and Maungauika.

On display from September 5th - October 14 in the Main Gallery, artist Martin Law will also be on-hand at Depot Artspace every Sunday over the duration of the exhibition.

Hope to see you there and do share your special stories & memories of any of the location in the works with us!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
