Come and join us as artist Annie Mackenzie chats with Sarjeant Gallery Curator, Greg Donson about her exhibition ‘Genuine Article’ featuring hand woven works in wool and a rag rug inspired by works from the Gallery’s collection by Edith Collier and Joanna Margaret Paul that are on display in the exhibition.
During her time in Whanganui as artist-in-residence at Tylee Cottage Annie explored the history of the Wanganui woollen mills and the exhibition includes a great range of archival photographs from the Whanganui Regional Museum that were used for the promotion of products that were produced by the Mills.
