Salome Tanuvasa: Do you want to give it a name?

7 February – 3 March
Tim Melville Gallery
Auckland

 

In a brief reprieve from full-time work, keeping the children entertained and myriad other responsibilities, a brisk walk around the family home reveals art materials; paper, card, gift wrap and an A4 clear file. Knowing that every minute taken means another minute lost, marks are made over and over and over, then discarded, redrawn and repositioned until, before long, ten works are made and left to dry until the next reprieve. These self-set environmental parameters have resulted in a new exhibition by Salome Tanuvasa in the second (office) gallery at Tim Melville; Do you want to give it a name?
