Day 220

caught up with kat & matt tonite to hear the latest on the wedding, and for a general catch up really.  wedding plans have changed, again!  hehe - this could be a 'find out the venue the day before' wedding!  at least it'll be in the vicinity of akl, they've got that much sorted!




have been meaning to get a photo of 'flour power' for ages, and tonite was as good an opportunity as ever. i first heard of the artist, regan gentry, a few years ago when he had a exhibition at the dowse all based around gorse. i saw him interviewed and he had become obsessed with the stuff....even made gorse cake. i found it so interesting, using this widespread weed as inspiration and to therefore create so many different pieces of art around it.


the following year 'flour power' was commissioned by the public art advisory group and installed in central chc as part of the scape biennale in 2008. the concept is similar to views close to my own...probably to many. all in all, it's a great piece of art, particularly at night. similarly his pieces that were outside te papa, look great during the day, awesome at night.
