okay... as promised...

forestaurant photos...

pretty simple concept really but tends to work really well. take forest add restaurant and you get art that's sort of about food and nature and parks and harvesting and consumption. it was an auckland show at city rooms and now its at hsp where chch stalwarts zina swanson and justin kerr and local newbie hamish palmer have swelled the ranks. attached should be details from justin and hamish's work and in the background of justin's is a big painting by julien dyne which is kinda andrew mcleod without neurosis or people or animals. the show has outstanding work in it, possibly the best is fiona o'connor's video of auckland rock gardnes where she cycles all over stopping to film rock gardens. It makes a nice pairing with Sam Hartnett's photo of a rock sculpture which looks like an easter island statue crossed with the sphinx's missing nose... anyway more information should be on or at least updating on the hsp website www.hsp.org.nz
