Ngahere: The Bush of Aotearoa

Exhibition dates: 4 - 26 March

Opening Preview Friday 3 March, 6pm. Percy Thomson Gallery, Stratford.

Percy Thomson Gallery is proud to present 'Ngahere - The Bush of Aotearoa' arranged by the Professional Weavers Network of New Zealand.

A tactile exhibition full of imagination, skill and creative flair. The national touring exhibition ‘Ngahere – The Bush of Aotearoa’ is a collaborative show bringing together some of New Zealand’s most talented weavers in one space. Featuring over 45 stunning textile works this show explores all aspects of our New Zealand bush.

Taking their inspiration from the wide variety of experiences to be found in the bush, and reflecting them in a kaleidoscope of textures, colours and filtered light, the weavers have interpreted the theme in many different ways - keeping the textures and colours of the bush of Aotearoa in mind, though not necessarily being literal to the approach.
