Friday Feathered Friend

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Words and picture by Louise Thomas.
"So cool to see a bellbird (Anthornis melanura), aka korimako, today. I can't remember the last one I saw - possibly around Christmas time, when I snapped one in red mistletoe at Mt Ruapehu. My daughter actually spotted this guy. "Mum, look, what's that bird that looks like an almost ripe avocado with a beak."

Exhibition: Abstract Animal at Inverlochy by David H Brown

Cheryl Corrado from Inverlochy Art School

Inverlochy Exhibitions is very proud to present 'Abstract Animal at Inverochy', by pōneke artist David H Brown.

'Abstract Animal' presents a collection of 3D works and paintings which unpack grid or cage forms through the language of geometric art.

Work in this exhibition couples an investigation into geometric form with a strong advocation for animal rights. We are all animals – why do human animals treat non-human animals unequally?

Make sure you make time to pop in to our beautiful whare and see these mesmerizing artworks in person 💚

Open weekdays from 10 am - 2 pm, or by appointment (contact inverlochyartschool@gmail.com).

All work is for sale, with 10% of sales after commission donated to animal rights/welfare organisations.

Running until 10 May.
